FAQ

Why is dxopal.js so big?

Because it contains the whole opal processor, so that you will not be bothered by how to compile your game files into JS.

Technically you can reduce the file size by commenting out require "opal-parser" in opal/dxopal.rb and building your own .js (including your game).
