Turn this tutorial into a website?

Hello @dykstrom, you really did an amazing job here! Would you consider turning this into a free hosted website with GitHub Actions and Pages? By using https://gohugo.io/ this can be done very easy and it is also still readable as readme-files here in the repository.

You can check a similar approach on https://pi4j.com/ and https://github.com/Pi4J/pi4j.github.io/tree/main/content

I can give you a hand to make the transition to a site.

Minor code error in tutorial code website Chapter 9

Opening an issue here, although it concerns the actual tutorial on the web ( https://dykstrom.github.io/mazela-man-web/09_enable_main_menu/ ) ,
not the code in this repo. Sorry, I did not find/see a suitable place else. Thanks for this tut - a great resource!

In Chapter 9 it says:

private void initLevel() {  
        FXGL.spawn("Background", new SpawnData(0, 0).put("width", WIDTH).put("height", HEIGHT));  
        FXGL.setLevelFromMapOrGameOver();  
        // Store the number of pills on this level  
        FXGL.set("pills", FXGL.getGameWorld().getEntitiesByType(EntityType.PILL).size());  
    }  

private void setLevelFromMapOrGameOver() {  
        try {  
            setLevelFromMap("level" + FXGL.geti("level") + ".tmx");  
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {  
            gameOver(true);  
        }  
    }  

I guess it should be like so (note the "FXGL."):

private void initLevel() {  
        FXGL.spawn("Background", new SpawnData(0, 0).put("width", WIDTH).put("height", HEIGHT));  
        setLevelFromMapOrGameOver();  
        // Store the number of pills on this level  
        FXGL.set("pills", FXGL.getGameWorld().getEntitiesByType(EntityType.PILL).size());  
    }  

private void setLevelFromMapOrGameOver() {  
        try {  
            FXGL.setLevelFromMap("level" + FXGL.geti("level") + ".tmx");  
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {  
            gameOver(true);  
        }  
    }
