* First combine all javascript together
* Remove all debug code, godMode, soundEnable, and controls description
* Use Google Closure on Advanced https://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home
* Use terser with extra compression turned off https://xem.github.io/terser-online/
* Put eveything into the same html file and remove any whitespace
* Zip the index.html and tiles.png files
