GDevelop.js

This is a port of some parts of GDevelop to Javascript using Emscripten.

GDevelop is a full featured, cross-platform, open-source game creator software requiring no programming skills. Download it on the official website and check its GitHub page.

How to build Build Status

git clone https://github.com/juj/emsdk.git
cd emsdk
./emsdk update
./emsdk install sdk-1.37.37-64bit
./emsdk activate sdk-1.37.37-64bit
source ./emsdk_env.sh

(on Windows run emsdk instead of ./emsdk, and emsdk_env.bat instead of source ./emsdk_env.sh. For up-to-date information, check again Emscripten installation instructions).

  • Make sure you have Node.js installed and grunt:
    npm install -g grunt-cli
    git clone https://github.com/4ian/GDevelop.git
    cd GDevelop && git clone https://github.com/4ian/GDevelop.js.git
  • Launch the build:
    cd GDevelop.js
    npm install
    npm run build

Output is created in /path/to/GD/Binaries/Output/libGD.js/.

  • You can then launch GDevelop 5 that will use your build of Gdevelop.js:
    cd ..
    cd newIDE/app
    npm install
    npm start

More information in GDevelop 5 readme.

Launch tests and examples

Launch tests with grunt:

npm test

Or launch example:

cd examples && node demo.js

The demo generate a json file that can be opened with GDevelop!

About the internal steps of compilation

The grunt build task:

  • create Binaries/embuild directory,
  • patch SFML Config.hpp file to make Emscripten recognized as a linux target,
  • launch CMake inside to compile GDevelop with Emscripten toolchain file,
  • update the glue.cpp and glue.js from Bindings.idl using Emscripten WebIDL Binder,
  • launch the compilation with make and wrap the generated libGD.js.raw into the final libGD.js file.

It also create a compressed libGD.js.gz file which is handy for distributing the library pre-compressed to web browsers.

Documentation

Refer to GDevelop documentation for detailed documentation of the original C++ classes. The file Bindings.idl describes all the classes available in GDevelop.js.
