This is a Phaser Editor 2D v3 project template.

• It is coded in TypeScript. The tsc is included as a node package.
• It includes a VS Code project configuration (jsconfig.json file).

Compiles the source code

This project is based on TypeScript so for getting the game, first, you need to install TypeScript and other dependencies:

$ npm install
$ npm update

Then, for running the game, you need to compile the TypeScript files:

$ npm run build

It outputs the JavaScript code into the game.js file.

Often, you would like to run the TypeScript compiler in watch mode:

$ npm run watch

Run the editor

• If you have NodeJS installed, you can run the editor using the editor NPM script, defined in the package.json file:

  $ npm install
  $ npm run editor

• If you are in a remote environment (like the Gitpod.io IDE), then run the editor like this:

  $ npm run editor-remote

• If you want to see all the editor options, run:

  $ npx phasereditor2d-launcher -help

• If Phaser Editor 2D Core is globally installed, you can run:

  $ PhaserEditor2D -project .
