First, run the following to get the dependencies:

npm install

Populate a people.json file with the following format:

{
	"gameStage": 1,
	"records": [
		{
			"surname": "Doe",
			"forename": "Jane",
			"classifier": "I",
			"dateOfBirth": "1980-01-01",
			"nationality": "USA",
			"status": "Alive",
			"lastKnownAddress": "1 Main Street",
			"notes": "Optional notes section",
			"related": [ "Optional related record text" ]
		},
	...
	]
}

Then, simply run the program:

npm start

• Nationality will default to "USA"
• dateOfDeath can be specified (N.B. cannot be before dateOfBirth)
• status will default to "Alive" or "Deceased" based on presence of dateOfDeath
• If "suppressLegacyWarning" is set to true, a record with dates prior to a given cutoff (1960-01-01 by default) will not have a physical record warning presented

The gameStage property can be used to control whether records are visible at a given stage of the game. To use it, each record may also have the following keys:

• notBefore: an integer that defines the gameStage at which this record will appear
• notAfter: an integer that defines the gameStage after which this record will not appear

Then simply edit the gameStage property as appropriate as the game progresses.

You can add another file, players.json (that won't be committed) and put the real details of your players in. Here's an example of what that file would look like for a single player:

{ "records": [
  {
    "surname": "PlayerSurname",
    "forename": "PlayerForename",
    "classifier": "P",
    "dateOfBirth": "2000-01-01",
    "nationality": "...",
    "warning": "{yellow-bg}{blue-fg}STOP PLAYING NOW YOU AREN'T SAFE{/}{/}",
    "status": "Playing",
    "lastKnownAddress": "Behind Your Eyes, Can't You Smell It?",
    "notes": "{yellow-fg}<<Take 1D10 of Sanity Damage>>{/}"
  }
