gameContainer: HTMLElement;
onGameStart?: (() => void) | undefined;
onNextGame?: (() => void) | undefined;
onLeaveGame?: (() => void) | undefined;
onGameCompleted?: (() => void) | undefined;
}

Building
This library requires the using HTML templates that are included in the Node package. The library code assumes that these HTML files will be in the same directory together. So to use them, copy them into the directory your JS/TS will be running. The following command could also be used in a build configuration:
find ./node_modules/@diamondkinetics/dk-minigames-ts -name '*.html' -exec cp {} ./[your-build-folder] \\;
