InstallingDemo
Usually, running the demo has about three steps:
- Get the godot engine for your specific platform (64-bit standard edition)
- make sure to put godot in a place that's in your path variable
- alternatively, use this simple-godot-installer (download directly here) to completely set up godot more easily on windows
- Get a stable build from the Releases tab
- because codeberg is silly, automatic releases come as .zip but manual releases can only be uploaded as .tar.gz and you will need PeaZip to open them on windows
- From within
zensekai-demo/zensekai
, run the demo- on linux, run
./zensekai
- on windows, in
cmd.exe
or windows explorer, start.\zensekai.bat
- on linux, run
however there may be issues that make it more complicated.
-
zensekai.bat doesn't run / path variable??
Windows is very, very picky about finding godot if you don't call it from the cmd.exe shell and first have it correctly in the path variable. try simple-godot-installer to set this up easily
if that doesn't work, or if you're on linux, check out CompilingDemo for instructions on how to add godot to your $PATH
something seems really broken, an executable won't even run
It's possible my build doesn't work on your OS and you need to compile from source.
if you want to do this, go through the full set of instructions in CompilingDemo
note:
technically, the godot binary wasn't intended to be used this way and you're supposed to 'export your project' to pop out some kind of godot extract to distribute with it, but for now I'm busy with the actual demo code so I'll clean this up and do it "the proper way" at some later date. for now simply running the editor works
