Build Instructions

Platypus relies on SpringRoll and its Grunt processes to handle building the game. To quickly get a game up and running, we highly recommend starting with Spring Roll Studio and importing the Platypus Spring Roll Template. That process is outlined below.

Spring Roll Studio Game Setup

1. Download and install the latest release of Spring Roll Studio.
2. Download the Platypus Platypus Spring Roll Template.
3. Open Spring Roll Studio and select "New" to start a new project.
4. In the resulting panel, choose the gear to add a new template.
5. Drag and drop the Platypus template folder into the provided space to install it.
6. Now, with the Platypus template selected, fill in the rest of the data. The necessary modules for Platypus will already be selected.

Building the Game

1. To build the game, select the "Tasks" button and run "build-dev" or "build-debug" to compile the game. These are also available from the command line as Grunt commands.
2. The game can be tested by choosing "Preview" once a build has been made.
