 # Installation of this project.

 GIML is a markup language. It should not be installed. It should run natively with the browser. Until that happens, you can use this JavaScript prototype.
+
+This prototype has a fixed screen size of 640x480.  
+
+You could use just the GML parser ("plugin" may come later) for loading your own game structures.
+GIML can be used as multi-purpose game data structure.

 Just clone/download this project in a folder where you want and run it. See below.

+# CORS Problems
+
+CORS means "Cross-origin resource sharing" and this technology mostly forbids you to load a resource, like an image, from another server than the given one. Also, CORS only applies to http(s):// and if you would like to test it locally without setting up a whole server infrastructure, you may run into problems because you use the file:// protocol.
+
+Ok, first of all: The test site for that project (the GML-site which is loaded from the interpreter) is located *IN* the _interpreter_-folder just because of CORS. You would have to set up a CORS-paradigm on your server, if that folder would be outside of the other one. I don't want to make that just for testing (on several machines, locally) and so I fiddled out a way around CORSing. ;) Remember that the interpreter itself is just a prototype.

+## Disabling CORS for local testing

+### Firefox
+On firefox you may need to fiddle in the settings.

+Search for _security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy_ and set it to _false_
