Usage & Tutorial

If you are developing with V5 (Tyrano Studio), please continue as is.

Good job.
The time has finally come to announce your completed game.

The tasks required before release are:

• Ensure there are no bugs
• Decide on the distribution method
• Prepare the files for release

First, while playing through your game, carefully check that no bugs are present.
If any error warnings appear during the game, make sure to fix them all.
Also, if you intend for smartphone users to play your game, be sure that the sizes of images and music files are not too large.
Play through the entire game from start to finish.

As a debugging method, if you set the following part of Config.tjs to true, detailed error information and locations will be displayed.
Be sure to change it back to false when publishing

// ◆ "Debug"


;debugMenu.visible = true;

Additionally, by using Tyrano Studio, you can efficiently identify the causes of errors.

The console allows you to track the tags being executed in real time.


When you check "Show Debug" at the start of the preview, you can view the executed tags, parameters, the structure of HTML elements, and any errors.



At the bottom of the preview screen, you can see detailed executed tags and parameters. When the game stops, looking at the last executed tag can help you pinpoint the error.


Let’s make use of these tools as you continue developing your game.

Games created with TyranoScript can be released in various formats.
