Yandex Games TypeScript Template

A dev environment for Defold pre-configured to use the Yandex Games SDK that transpiles TypeScript into lua using TypeScriptToLua.

Features

• Full Lua and Defold API type definitions for TypeScript auto-complete and type checking
• Eslint config for handling the caveats of TypeScriptToLua and keeping your code correct
• Handles script, gui_script, and module exports using familiar ES6 export syntax
• Full BoilerPlate game project ready to transpile and go
• File watcher via npm run dev to transpile on save

Bonus

• Throwback retro console frame with virtual dpad and buttons that work with touch input on mobile
• Online and ofline Leaderboards

Note that you will need to have Node.js installed.

Quick Start

• Use npm run dev to start a watcher that compiles and emits lua and script when you save
