Changlog:

• 2023-05-03: Improved accessibility on web by slightly increasing default resolution/font size. Unfortunately the game still doesn't play well with fullscreen .

• 2023-05-02: Bundled required js for running on web. Previously it was pulled in from a remote server. But in doing so, it added a potential point of failure should something go wrong on that end.
