Download TyranoScript
Let's start with the initial setup for novel game development.
First, download the latest version of TyranoScript from the download page.
Open the link below and download the "Standard Package".
>> Open the Download Page
Once the download is complete, extract the files to a suitable location.
Download the Development Tool (TyranoStudio)
A dedicated official tool is available to assist with TyranoScript development.
The software is called "TyranoStudio" and can be downloaded for free.
Download it from the same page where you obtained the Standard Package.
>> Get TyranoStudio
Once downloaded, extract the files to a suitable location.
Now, let's launch "TyranoStudio."
Windows users should double-click "TyranoStudio.exe," and Mac users should double-click "TyranoStudio.app" to start the program.
Did it start successfully?
After launching, no game project will be selected yet. You need to set the folder where you extracted the TyranoScript main package.
Click on "Load exsisting project."
A file selection window will open. Select "index.html" inside the extracted TyranoScript folder.
Now that the project is set up, go to the left menu and select "Preview" → ① "Play Game." Then, click on the button ② "Run Game".
If the sample game starts, the setup was successful.
This game allows you to check the basic functionality of TyranoScript, so be sure to play it to the end.
Tip
The "TyranoScript main package" you downloaded earlier includes both "TyranoScript" and a sample "game project." The sample game you just played was included in that project. When creating your own game, you will start by deleting the sample game and building your own content.
Looking inside the folder, you will see the following structure:
index.html
This is the executable file when publishing for browsers or smartphones.
data folder
This folder contains the game data. You will primarily work inside this folder.
tyrano folder
This contains the TyranoScript core files. You generally won't need to modify anything here.
About the Editor
To create a game with TyranoScript, all you need is a text editor.
An editor is a software used to edit text, similar to "Notepad."
While you can develop your game using Notepad, there are more efficient and convenient editors available. Here is a recommended option:
Visual Studio Code (Download) ☆ Recommended
A community plugin for Visual Studio Code provides syntax highlighting and input assistance for TyranoScript. Be sure to check it out!
TyranoScript Autocomplete Plugin for Visual Studio Code
Well done!
You have now completed the setup for developing games with TyranoScript.
From the next session, let's start creating your game!
