Looks really fun, but is there any way I can play online without having to set up a whole environment for this?

Thanks, and good you ask. The online version is in the works, going to be available soon at warriorjs.com. Follow @warrior_js on Twitter to be notified about the release.

If you're reluctant to install a global package just to try this, any recent Node includes npm5+, which in turn comes with `npx`, enabling: `npx @warriorjs/cli`

  While I doubt this applies to others, my issue here is that my primary work computer is running Windows.

    I just ran this on windows, what's the problem you had with it?

      Its more of a large inconvenience - I don't develop on my computer, I write all code on servers in my company's cloud. My choice would be to either clone this onto company hardware in the cloud or install node and the associated tools on my desktop.

        Is there a particular reason that playing this game on your employer's hardware (and, presumably, on your employer's time) is better than installing it on your computer and playing it at home?

        I think they are explaining why they would rather play online; those are the two options and both not preferable.

    Seems like a good use-case for a linux VM? I tend to use VMs for things it's clear shouldn't really be installed on my workstation.

      I do agree, and this is how I evaluate a lot of tools, but wouldn't it be easier just to have a web page? I'm not saying that I can't use this, I'm saying that it would be far more convenient for me (and likely many others).

    Node on Windows has worked servicably for a long time.

Use any web ide like Codenvy.com and you have it at least seperated from your computer
