This is a Phaser Editor v4 project template that uses Nextjs for bundling. It supports hot-reloading for quick development workflow and includes scripts to generate production-ready builds.
This template has been updated for:
- Phaser 3.85.0
- Phaser Editor v4.0 and above
Phaser Editor enables you to visually create Phaser games. Instead of entering numbers in your code to position Game Objects, you can drag and drop them into place, tweak their animations, adjust their physics bodies, enable special effects, and more. It's quicker and faster for both artists and developers alike and publishes pure Phaser code.

Node.js is required to install dependencies and run scripts via npm.
An active subscription to Phaser Editor is required to load and use this template within it.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
npm install |
Install project dependencies |
npm run dev |
Launch a development web server |
npm run build |
Create a production build in the dist folder |
After cloning the repo, run npm install from your project directory.
To start the local development server use npm run dev.
To create a production build use the command npm run build.
This will take your game code and build it into a single bundle, ready for deployment. This bundle is saved to the dist folder. Please note that some templates save to the build folder instead. The deployment script will also copy any assets your project imported, or stored in the public assets folder.
To deploy your game, upload all of the contents of the dist folder to a public-facing web server.
Note: In some templates, the dist folder has been renamed to build to remain within that framework's conventions.
You don't want to add every file in this template to your Phaser Editor project. For example, the whole of node_modules can be excluded.
The /.skip file lists the folders and files to exclude from the editor's project.

Phaser has the ability to load what are known as 'asset packs'. These are JSON files that describe all of the content that your game needs to load, such as images, audio, and fonts. Phaser Editor will generate and use asset packs intensively and tools such as the Scene Editor depend upon the information stored in the asset pack files.
You can have multiple asset packs per project, which is the recommended practice for larger games, allowing you to load only the pack of assets the game requires at that specific point.
In this template, we have pre-configured two types of asset packs: boot-asset-pack.json and preload-asset-pack.json.
The boot-asset-pack.json file is used to load assets when the game first boots. Typically, you would store a small selection of initial assets in here, such as a loading screen image and progress bar.
The preload-asset-pack.json in this template contains the rest of the assets the game needs. You are free to create additional packs as required, but for the sake of simplicity, this template has been configured with just these two packs.
