USING THE PACK IN A MASTERY QUESTS GAME
============================================================

1. Keep these files inside a Mastery Quests game project.
2. Point the game's image and audio references to the files you want to use.
3. You may rename files, move them into different folders, or change code paths as needed for your game.
4. You may resize or position images through HTML/CSS without altering the underlying image file.
5. Do not edit, recolor, crop, remix, or otherwise alter the underlying visual or audio content. See terms-of-use.txt.

ACCESSIBILITY
- Use meaningful alt text when an image conveys information or identifies a character, boss, or artifact.
- Use empty alt text (alt="") or aria-hidden="true" only when an image is purely decorative.
- Audio should never be the only way a student receives required instructional information.
