- Distributions
- -------------
- |PhaserEditor|_ is distributed as two different products:
- .. toctree::
-
- core
- all-in-one
- Both products are available for Linux, Windows, and macOS.
- Why two different products?
- When you develop an HTML5 game with Phaser_, there are two tech stacks you need to get familiar with: game development tooling and web development tooling.
- The game development tooling is the most important one (it includes map editors, texture packers, animation tools), however, when you are making professional games, it is recommended to add a modern web development tech stack to your workflow. For example a static-typed coding language like TypeScript. A package management tool like |npm|_. A web bundler like |webpack|_.
- Probably, developers coming from the mainstream game development world, are not familiar with the web development stack, and look to |PhaserEditor|_ as an alternative to mainstream editors like Unity Editor, Godot, Construct, etc...
- For those users, there is the |allInOne|_ product. It wraps |core|_ (the editor's server and client) in an ElectronJS_ app and provides an experience similar to traditional IDEs: project templates, and a deeper integration with the local Operating System.
- On the other side, there is |core|_. It contains the server and client of the editor. Its architecture allows better integration with the web development toolings.
- Modern web development is moving to the cloud, using platforms like Gitpod_ and |GithubCodespaces|_. |core|_ allows using the editor in these cloud-based development environments.
