How To Build

[amadeus]

(Whoops, had to edit this issue because I accidentally prematurely posted it :/)

Annyways, I noticed you guys included some built files in the repo. I was wondering if you could include some instructions in the README to create our own builds.

For example, I would love to make a build that is not minified, to be able to explore the source a bit more.

Something along the lines of

cd build
ant -f PixiBuild.xml

Changes to build (compiler options) can be made in the xml.

Hi there, mvasilkov is correct. The build file is an ant script that basically just minifies the src using the google closure compiler. Its does not do anything too clever at the moment :)

Its a good point though, I will look into updating the readme file to give people a little more info on what it is.

And how are you debugging? Do you use source maps?

[MarxGames]

Putting everything into one file makes debugging harder on errors(you lose vital information such as correct file name and line number), also on a slower computer building process might take a minute or two. I'd prefer a big html file that has included all source files.

[GoodBoyDigital]

I see what you're saying, so a HTML file with all classes included? That is how I have been testing it :) Where would a file like that sit in the project structure ya think? In the build folder?

[MarxGames]

thats a good question, right now there are no tests, but if there will be then that folder might be a good place to start
