This project is very experimental! No checks to validate the existance of the engines/projects are made. Errors should be expected!
Flax Launcher Lite is a Flax Engine launcher for MacOS, Linux and Windows. It is a very first pass and has only been compiled and tested under MacOS. This launcher has only the most basic features. It allows:
- Adding Flax Engine versions to the Engine list
- Adding Existing Flax projects to the Project list
- Creating a new Flax Project with the chosen engine
This project was created since the current Flax Launcher only works under Windows. It was created using wxWindows and should be protable to all desktop platforms.
First, an engine needs added to the list of engines. Choose Add Existing Engine from the Engines section and choose a name for the engine and the path to the FlaxEditor for that engine.
Next, either an existing Flax project can be added or a new project created. To add an existing project, choose Add Existing Project from the Projects section. Chose the engine for the project, a name for the project and the .flaxproj file that represents the project.
To create a new Flax project choose the Create New Project option. Select the engine, enter a project name and shoose a project location. After that is complete, the project will be created in the chosen location on disk using the name specified. The Faxl Editor should launch afterwards.
To launch a project, click on the project to launch, right-click it and choose *Launch from the context menu.
To delete a project or engine, click on the item, then right-click and choose *Delete" from the context menu. A confirmation dialog will confirm the choice. Note: the project or engine are only removed from the launcher, and will not be deleted from the disk.
