If you're lost

You're suposed to use this tool with Nodegames

Installation

You'll need to have node.js and npm installed on your device and an internet connection to use this tool, then run in a terminal:
``

bash
npm install -g nodegamesjs-forge


Update

To update the tool, run in a terminal:

bash
npm update -g nodegamesjs-forge


Warning

This packages your game to executable(s) but it packages those with node.js 12.0.0 because nexe doesn't support newer node.js versions yet and this tool uses nexe to package your games easily. This doesn't apply if you use the --build flag as it will package with your current node.js version.
Usage

To package a nodegames game to executables for 64bit devices, run in the root directory of your game:

bash
nodegamesjs-forge


This will create a directory called output with an executable for linux, one for windows and another for macos all for 64bits devices. However if you want to create executables for 32bit devices, run:

bash
nodegamesjs-forge x86


This will create a directory called output with an executable for linux, one for windows and another for macos all for 32bits devices. There are multiple ways to use the command to do those 2 actions, you can see them by running:

bash
nodegamesjs-forge --help


You can also run the command with the --build argument which will create a directory called build and create an executable that works for your machine (can take 30+min)

bash
nodegamesjs-forge --build
