v1.0.0-beta.3

This release is for testers who want to try out the game before the extension is published officially on the Google Chrome Webstore.

To install this extension:

• Download and extract wikigame-v1.0.0-beta.3.zip
• Go to chrome://extensions
• Ensure that Developer mode toggle is enabled (top-right)
• Click Load unpacked (top left), then choose the extracted folder
• Visit any article in Wikipedia, append ?roomId=1234 to the link (example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiracing?roomId=1234). Of course you can change the roomId to anything you want (including non-numeric, like ?roomId=test).

If everything is loaded correctly, then you will be prompted to enter your username, and then a sidebar on the left side should appear.

Notes:

• If you use Opera, you can load the crx file instead (this is not allowed in Chrome for security reasons).
• If you have installed any previous version of this extension, it's best to remove the old one first then install a new one.
• It has been tested on the latest versions of Chrome, Brave, and Opera. If you encounter bugs/issues, tell us.
