	The '''Order Priority Card''' will allow you to get the first move for the next turn. After playing an Order Priority Card, your first order will happen before your opponent's first order. After the first orders are executed, the rest of the orders will be executed normally, just as if you were selected to go first in the ~~random~~ that normally happens.

	If multiple players play an Order Priority Card in the same turn, the move order will be determined normally between those players. The players that didn't play an Order Priority Card will also be determined normally between each other, but their first order will not go before someone who played the card.

	For example, if you have utility functions in a file named 'Utilities.lua', simply write <code>require('Utilities')</code> at the top of another file to include it (omit the <code>.lua</code>).		For example, if you have utility functions in a file named 'Utilities.lua', simply write <code>require('Utilities')</code> at the top of another file to include it (omit the <code>.lua</code>).

	~~Note that all~~ lua files ~~must be~~ in ~~the same directory~~ (~~subdirectories are currently not supported~~).		You can also require lua files in subdirectories. If you have a subdirectory called 'Util', and in that subdirectory a file called 'Player.lua', simply write <code>require('Util.Player')</code>.

	There are ~~two~~ ways to load mod code into War.app: Using the Standalone Client, or directly uploading from your ~~editor~~. ~~Uploading from your editor is the preferred way since it allows for more rapid iteration. However, it also requires an extension to your editor, which only exists for VS Code.~~ If ~~you want to develop from an editor other than VS Code, or if~~ you want to develop without an active internet connection, you should use the Standalone Client method.		There are three ways to load mod code into War.app: Using the Standalone Client, directly uploading from VSCode, or directly uploading from a folder on your disk. If you want to develop without an active internet connection, you should use the Standalone Client method, otherwise the other methods are recommended since they allow for more rapid iteration.

			You can now make modifications to the mod on your disk, and the python script will automatically notice those changes, upload them to the War.app server, and your opened browser window will automatically notice the new code and re-load it immediately. There's no need to refresh your browser to see your code changes.
