The game in the screenshots

The screenshots are licensed CC BY-SA 4.0, like the game's assets, not under the toolkit's license. They are adaptations of the game: it runs in a browser with the toolkit's on-screen controls, menus and dialogs drawn over it, and the capture script sets up each scene (it moves the player, gives items, changes the button labels). You may reuse them under the same license, crediting yancharkin for the game.
The terminal and the This game is being set up page are the toolkit's own and need no credit.
