This interactive project guides you through Val Town basics using a refactored structure for clarity.

➡️ Get Set Up (Just 2 Steps!):

1. Open Your Code: In the File Tree (left), you'll see several files. The instructions are now split:
   • backend/config.ts: This is where you'll make edits for Steps 2, 3, and 4. Select this file first.
   • Other files (backend/index.ts, backend/state.ts, etc.) contain the application logic. You can explore them later.
2. Open & Pin Your Tracker: Click the "Open HTTP endpoint" button (🔗 icon, top-right). This opens your Live Progress Tracker in a new browser tab.
   • IMPORTANT: Pin the Tracker tab in your browser (usually by right-clicking the tab and selecting "Pin Tab"). This keeps it accessible while you switch between code files in the editor.

Ready? Make sure backend/config.ts is open in the editor. Follow the brief instructions in the code comments within that file. Use your pinned Tracker tab to see progress!

🚀 Quick Jumps (Optional):

Find the relevant comment block in backend/config.ts:

• Editing & Live Preview: // STEP 2:
• Saving Data (Blob Storage): // STEP 3:
• Sending Email: // STEP 4:
• Scheduled Tasks (Cron): Follow Step 5 instructions in backend/config.ts (action is in the Tracker tab).

✨ Quick UI Tour:

In this editor window, notice the: File Tree (now with multiple files!), Save button, Logs pane, Environment Variables, "+" button. Explore the different files in backend/ to see how the logic is separated!
