It makes it easy to package your game for multiple platforms, similar to [love-release](https://github.com/MisterDA/love-release). It is a single executable with no other dependecies. It can be used across multiple projects and makes automated building a breeze.\n\n![Rust](https://github.com/camchenry/boon/workflows/Rust/badge.svg)\n\nLicensed under the MIT License.\n\n# Features\n* Package your game for multiple platforms. Supported platforms:\n    * Native (.love)\n    * Windows (.exe)\n    * macOS (.app)\n    * Linux (coming soon)\n* Package your game for multiple versions of LÖVE. Supported versions:\n    * 11.x\n    * 0.10.2\n* No external dependencies\n\n# Getting started\n\n## Installation\n\n### Download prebuilt binaries (recommended)\n\nboon has prebuilt binaries on the GitHub Releases page. Download the zip file, then extract the executable onto your PATH.\n\nIf you're a **Windows** user, download the `boon-windows-amd64` file.\n\nIf you're a **macOS** user, download the `boon-macos-amd64` file.\n\nIf you're a **Linux** user, download the `boon-linux-amd64` file.\n\n## Usage\n\nIn general, if you need help figuring out how to use a command you can pass the `--help` option to see possible arguments, options, and subcommands. To get started and see the top-level commands and options, run `boon --help`.\n\n### Initialization\nTo start using boon with your project, it is recommended to first initialize it. This will create a `Boon.toml` file that will let you configure the settings for your project.\n\n```bash\n$ boon init\n```\n\nIf you don't initialize boon, you can still build your project normally, but the default configuration will be used to build it instead. You can initialize it later, or create a `Boon.toml` file yourself.\n\n### Downloading LÖVE\n\nIn order to build your project, you first need to download the versionof LÖVE that you are using for it.\n\n```bash\n# Will download LÖVE 11.5 for building\n$ boon love download 11.5\n```\n\n### Building your project\n\nFinally, to build your project just run `boon build` followed by where you want to run it. Usually, you just want to run it on the current directory, `.`.\n\n```bash\n$ boon build .\n```\n\nWithout a target specified, this will build a `.love` file and put it in the `release` directory. This is shorthand for `boon build \u003cdir\u003e --target love`\n\nIt is possible to build all targets simultaneously by passing `all` as the target, for example, `boon build . --target all`.\n\n#### Building for Windows\n\nTo build a Windows application:\n\n```bash\n$ boon build . --target windows\n```\n\n#### Building for macOS\n\nTo build a macOS application:\n\n```bash\n$ boon build . --target macos\n```\n\n### Building for a different version of LÖVE\n\nIf you would like to build for a LÖVE version other than the default, you can specify it using the `--version` flag.\n\n```bash\n$ boon build . --version 0.10.2\n```\n\n## Compiling from source\n\nboon is written in Rust, so you will need to install [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) in order to compile it.\n\nTo build boon:\n```bash\ngit clone git@github.com:camchenry/boon.git\ncd boon\ncargo build --release\n./target/release/boon --version\nboon 0.2.0\n```\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Rust","Distribution"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcamchenry%2Fboon","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcamchenry%2Fboon","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcamchenry%2Fboon/lists"}
