D8H 18e8020bf5 Simplify the list of actions/conditions by removing duplicated actions/conditions that are common between objects (#5494)
* Actions, conditions and expressions related to opacity, size (width/height), scale, animations and other common features are now visible only once when you search for them in actions/conditions (instead of being shown once for every type of object supporting them). This reduces the risk of confusion for new or existing users, notably when multiple versions of the same action were returned by the search and was making it difficult to choose the proper one.
* Internally, this works thanks to default, built-in behaviors that are supported by the objects.

GDevelop JavaScript Platform (HTML5 game engine)

GDevelop JavaScript Platform (GDJS) is the game engine for making HTML5/Javascript based games with GDevelop.

📚 Game developer, searching for the documentation? Go to the GDJS Runtime (game engine) documentation.

1) Installation 💻

To do changes in the game engine or create extensions, install the development version (click here to learn more).

2) Development 🤓

GDJS is composed of two parts:

  • the JavaScript game engine (Runtime folder), called GDJS Runtime.
  • the C++ part exposing GDJS to GDevelop IDE (GDJS folder), including the Exporter and classes doing transpilation from events to JavaScript, called GDJS Platform.

GDJS Runtime (game engine)

The game engine is in the Runtime folder. If you want to work on the engine directly, follow the GDevelop 5 README about the development of the game engine.

  • To use the game engine, you can look into the GDJS Runtime (game engine) documentation.

  • To run tests for the game engine, go to GDJS/tests, run npm install and npm test. More information in the README for the tests.

  • To launch type checking with TypeScript, run npm install and npm run check-types in GDJS folder.

GDJS Platform (exporters, code generation...)

Check the GDJS Platform documentation or the full GDevelop developers documentation.
