You are going to find yourself in a situation where the game does not even start anymore and there is no way of debugging it unless you have a way to revert.
#How to create your own game website code#
If it's a real game, I would commit the code to version control right at the start. Please scan through articles from Studio#BGA_Studio_user_guide especially those related to debugging and tools, there is a lot of useful info there.
#How to create your own game website update#
Update your project status on Control Panel > Manage games page, you can say "development started" or "waiting for the license" or "waiting for graphics" or a combination of those.Īt some point, you need to setup your development environment which consists of multiple tools, such as Note: if you have not setup FTP auto-sync yet, do it now, manually copying files is a no-starter.

tpl file, reload the page in the browser and make sure your ftp sync works as expected. Don't worry too much about the name, if the game is good enough to publish, it will be renamed to its original name.įind and start the game in turn based mode, make sure it works. If the original game name is taken use gamenameYOURINITIALS If you have not already, you have to create a project in BGA Studio for this game. If you want to take over an existing project first ask on the forum to see if the project is abandoned, then get read only access (via project list) and see if this is worth using it, if it has no code or graphics just start from the scratch, don't worry about project name it can be renamed later. Contact existing project admin about getting write access to the original project or if they are willing to take your patches - apply them. Then get read only access to the project and you can create your own as a copy of the existing one. If your goal was to fix bugs in an existing project, first try to locate it on Studio, projects developed by BGA admins are not in the Studio. If it's not clear by the status, post to the Developers forum asking if anybody is actively working on the project or send a message to the developers listed for the abandoned projects, and at the same time ask admins on the same forum to post to send you graphics for that game if they have them (there a button on Available Licenses page to request graphics, but it will just send an email). There are a lot of abandoned game projects. If it is the case, maybe you can propose to join the project?Įven if you see a few projects with name of the game they may not be active. Once you selected the game but before creating a new project, please take a few seconds to check that someone is not already developing this game. You can read more about game licenses on BGA Game licenses page.

If you find typos in this wiki - fix them.īut what if the game you want is not there? If you are able to successfully publish your first game, you would gain the trust of the BGA admins and they will be happy to assist you in obtaining a license for a game you really want to do or you can request a license yourself. If you're uncomfortable posting on the public forum you can send messages directly to developers who post answers on that forum but NOT the BGA admins. If you are stuck or have questions about this page post on BGA Developers forum. Don't bother with a new game if you have not completed at least one of the tutorials.
