TODO.
TODO. Timeway includes an API to allow custom plugins to run in each realm. This is a work in progress and an API reference will be released soon.
Ensure you have Python installed. If you're on windows, this can either be in WSL or native.
Download and run the TWEngine Development Environment Installer to install everything you need to start coding with Timeway. This includes the Processing IDE and all needed libraries.
Open Processing and the open Timeway from the File>Open menu. You can test run the application by clicking the big play button.
NOTE: This repo doesn't include the realm templates. If you really want to have realm templates installed, please extract it from a release of Timeway. This will be located under data/engine/realmtemplates
.
In Processing, go to File>Export application and select the OS's to export to. Ensure "Include Java with build" is checked.
Once the export has been complete, open the terminal, go to the Timeway directory, and run python3 timeway_packer.py
. Wait for the script to finish the packing process. If you don't intend to ship your build publicly, you may cancel (CTRL+C) the script when it reaches the zipping process. The final build will be timeway_[OS]_[VERSION].zip, or located in \timeway_[OS] if you cancel the zipping process.
