Runner.keycodes = { JUMP: { '38': 1, '32': 1 }, // Up, spacebar DUCK: { '40': 1 }, // Down RESTART: { '13': 1 } // Enter };
This keycode using virtual keycode with decimal value. You can find other keycode on this Link. As you can see Jump key is presented by Keyboard Up and Spacebar. Arrow Up keycode is '38' and Spacebar keycode is '32'. Duck keycode is '40', and i add Ctrl key have ability to duck, Ctrl keycode is '17' so i added line DUCK: { '40': 1, '17':1 }, // Down
For editing Game Config see this line, you can change how much obstacle, cloud spawn, how long dino can jump, speed of the game, etc.
Runner.config = {
ACCELERATION: 0.001,
BG_CLOUD_SPEED: 0.2,
BOTTOM_PAD: 10,
CLEAR_TIME: 3000,
CLOUD_FREQUENCY: 0.5,
GAMEOVER_CLEAR_TIME: 750,
GAP_COEFFICIENT: 0.6,
GRAVITY: 0.6,

For Audio source offline-sound-press, offline-sound-hit, offline-reached, basically we have an mp3 files button-press.mp3, hit.mp3, score-reached.mp3 converted to Base64 Encode. Thats why you have too long line on index.html if you open with notepad. You can do moore customizing T-rex Runner, this document only show a basic modifying game resource.
