Let's begin by reviewing our objective for this micro-quest.

Micro-Quest Objective: Define static site hosting and explain how GitHub Pages can be used to host a Pygame project that has been converted to run in a web browser.

Next, we'll perform initial verification steps to understand the current state and confirm the specification.

Verification Results: No automated verification assets are provided for this micro-quest. The specification is defined by the micro-quest objective itself.

Now, let's build our understanding by reviewing the documentation related to the core concepts.

Step by step checklist:

1. Review the definition and characteristics of static site hosting.
2. Understand what GitHub Pages is and how it functions as a static site hosting service.
3. Learn about the process of converting a Pygame project for web deployment and the types of files produced.
4. Examine how the converted game is integrated into an HTML file, focusing on the canvas and script elements.

The following documentation sections are going to be helpful:

• Static Site Hosting
• GitHub Pages
• Pygame Web Export
• HTML Game Embedding

Continue building your understanding by reviewing the documentation related to testing and deployment.

Step by step checklist:

1. Understand why local testing with a web server is necessary before deployment.
2. Learn the steps required to configure GitHub Pages for a repository.
3. Review the process for deploying updates using Git commands.
4. Understand how to verify that the deployed game is accessible and running correctly online.

The following documentation sections are going to be helpful:

• Local Web Server Testing
• GitHub Pages Configuration
• Deployment via Git Push
• Verifying Web Deployment

With the concepts reviewed, let's validate our understanding.

Verification Results: No automated verification assets are provided.

To validate your understanding, reflect on the documentation you reviewed. Can you now:

• Define static site hosting in your own words?
• Explain how GitHub Pages serves static files from a repository?
• Describe the general process of converting a Pygame project for the web and the role of the index.html file?
• Outline the basic steps for configuring and deploying to GitHub Pages?

If you can answer these questions based on the documentation, you have met the objective.
