Build Engine

If you want to be able to distribute an executable to others for release and playtesting, this document will tell you how.

Non-Python Process

If you are working with an executable version of the editor, follow this process.

You can download the current version of the standalone engine from here: https://gitlab.com/rainlash/lt-maker/-/jobs/artifacts/release/download?job=build_engine (Download will start automatically!)

Unzip the download, stick your .ltproj file in the folder lt_engine/lt_engine (should be at the same level as app, Include, etc.), and then you should be good to go. Test that the engine works with your project, and then re-zip it all up for distribution to others!

Python Process

If are working with the Python version of the Lex Talionis engine, the process is much simpler.

Open your project in the editor. Under the File menu, click Build Project. This will ask you where to place the build, and will then build the project in that location.

Afterwards, it will open the build folder.

Complete!

Your engine, ready for distribution, should be one directory above the lt-maker directory, and named the same as your project. Make sure to test it out first before delivering it to others!
