Getting Started

This guide explains how to set up a minimal Prosperon project and run it.

Installation

1. Download/Install Prosperon: (Describe your installation steps or where to get Prosperon.)

2. Folder Structure: A typical project might have:

   my-game/
     game.js            <-- main entry script
     config.js          <-- runs at engine startup, sets up environment
     scripts/           <-- .js, .jso, or actor-based script files
     assets/            <-- images, sounds, etc.
   

3. Run the Engine: From your project folder, run:

   prosperon
   

By default, it will look for config.js (if present), then main.js (or editor scripts) to start.

Hello World Example

1. Create a file named config.js in your project folder:

   console.log("Hello from Prosperon!")
   this.kill()  // quits immediately after printing
   

2. Run prosperon in that folder:

   prosperon
   

   You’ll see "Hello from Prosperon!" in the console, and then the engine exits.

That’s it! Next, we’ll explore writing more complex logic with actors, spawning objects, and drawing a game screen.
