.. include:: ../_header.rst Create your first project ------------------------- We provide a couple of project templates that you can download from the `Phaser Editor 2D Start page `_. You'll see that each template card contains links for downloading a zip with the project, a link to the GitHub project, and a link for opening the project in Gitpod_ (a cloud-based development environment). .. image:: ../images/first-steps-online-start-page-09132021.webp :alt: Download project templates online There are two groups for templates: **Basic Templates** and **Example Games**. The **Basic Templates** are "empty" projects with different setups. If you are making a professional game, we recommend using the **Webpack TypeScript** template. You can take a look to the **Example Games** for learning Phaser Editor 2D by looking the code of "real games". Each project template has a README file (in the GitHub repository) with the instructions for installing all required dependencies. More templates are available in the `Phaser Editor 2D Marketplace `_. This method for stating a new project is great for the |core|_ distribution or for starting a new project in the cloud. The |allInOne|_ distribution has the option of creating a new project. It contains some built-in templates (available offline), and also connects to the marketplace for getting more. Follow these steps: * Click on the **New Project** button: .. image:: ../images/first-steps-allInOne-new-project-1-20220415.webp :alt: All-in-one new project. * Select one of the project templates. Or click on the *Get more in the Marketplace* link, it shows more templates available in the the `Phaser Editor 2D Marketplace `_ (it requires an Internet connection): .. image:: ../images/first-steps-allInOne-new-project-2-20220415.webp :alt: Select project template .. image:: ../images/first-steps-allInOne-new-project-marketplace-20220415.webp :alt: Select project template from the marketplace. Projects in the marketplace are created by the Phaser Editor 2D team but also by the community. * When you select a project template, the IDE opens the OS file explorer. Select a directory where the project content will be copied: .. image:: ../images/first-steps-select-project-template-20220415.webp :alt: Select the project folder. The new project is created and shown in the workbench. If you get it from the marketplace, then it will get a time for fetching the files. .. image:: ../images/first-steps-new-project-2-04012021.webp :alt: Workbench shows the new project To run your project, click in the **Play** button at the beginning of the toolbar: .. image:: ../images/first-steps-new-play-project-04012021.webp :alt: Play the project.
