✅ – Your game will be served from a subdirectory ( /projectname/ ), so use relative paths for assets. ✅ Test locally – Run python -m http.server or npx serve to verify your game works in a subfolder before pushing. ✅ Use environment variables for API keys (client-side keys are still exposed – never put secrets in frontend code). ✅ Enable GitLab Pages access control if you need to restrict who can view your game (paid tier). ✅ Add a README.md – Explain how to play, controls, and credits. ✅ Compress assets – GitLab Pages has no file size limit, but smaller builds = faster loads.
