This is a new, revamped editor for GDevelop. It is based on React, Material-UI, Pixi.js and Electron. It uses GDevelop core C++ classes compiled to Javascript to work with GDevelop games.
Make sure to have Git and Node.js installed. Yarn is optional.
git clone https://github.com/4ian/GD.git
cd GD/newIDE/app
yarn #or npm installyarn start #or npm startThis will open the app in your web browser.
Images resources, GDJS Runtime, extensions will be copied in resources, and libGD.js will be downloaded automatically. If you wish, you can build libGD.js by yourself (useful if you modified GDevelop native code like extensions).
You can run the app with Electron. Make sure that you've run yarn start in app folder before (see above).
cd newIDE/electron-app
yarn #or npm install
#For macOS:
./node_modules/electron/dist/Electron.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron app
#For Windows:
node node_modules\electron\cli.js app
#For Linux:
./node_modules/electron/dist/electron appYou can run a storybook that is used as a playground for rapid UI component development and testing:
cd newIDE/app
yarn storybook #or npm run storybookUnit tests can be launched with this command:
cd newIDE/app
yarn test #or npm run testIt's possible to create new themes for the UI. See this file to declare a new theme. You can take a look at the default theme, including the styling of the Events Sheets.
First, update version number which is read in newIDE/electron-app/app/package.json.
cd newIDE/electron-app
yarn build #or npm run buildThis will build and package the Electron app for Windows, macOS and Linux (according to your OS). The output are stored inside newIDE/electron-app/dist.
To build artifacts for all platforms and publish to a draft GitHub release:
GH_TOKEN=xxx yarn build --mac --win --linux tar.gz --publish always
cd newIDE/web-app
yarn deploy #or npm run deployThis new editor is still in development and is missing some features:
- Support for translations (See an example of a component that can be translated)
- Support for native games
- More documentation about how to package for iOS/Android with Cordova/PhoneGap Build or Cocos2d-JS.
- Search in events
- More examples
- More tutorials
- Add more keyboard shortcuts
- Make drawers movable/draggable like the properties panel and the objects editor
You can contribute by picking anything here or anything that you think is missing or could be improved in GD5! If you don't know how to start, it's a good idea to play a bit with the editor and see if there is something that is unavailable and that you can add or fix.
See also the roadmap for ideas and features planned.
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App. Check out their documentation for common tasks or help about using it.
