Getting Started
The editor runs locally in the JVM as well as in the browser. The web-version offers the one-click solution for getting started with the editor. However, since the web-version can’t compile any code, you should use the JVM version for any serious testing. You can still start with the web-version and use the Save Project button in the upper right corner to download the example project, which you can then run locally. Alternatively you can clone the kool templates and use the kool-editor-template as a starting point.
The editor is still in an early state and I can’t yet guarantee any backwards compatibility of future versions. Hence, using it for serious projects is not yet recommended.
Running the editor locally
The recommended workflow for an editor project is to open the downloaded project in IntelliJ (or any other IDE of your choice) and run the kool editor in parallel. To do so, open the previously downloaded project in IntelliJ and wait until the gradle build-script is synced (it should happen automatically).
Now start the kool editor by running the runEditor gradle task either from the Gradle tab in IntelliJ or from a terminal with:
./gradlew runEditor
The editor should open up and you should see the same example scene as in the web-editor with the benefit that you are able to edit code as well.
