Clients

In Getting Started, we discussed how to download the binary files for Eldiron Creator.

Here we cover the Eldiron Clients, i.e. stand-alone apps that can play the game you created.

In the Assets folder of the latest GitHub release here, you can download the following files.

For Windows, download

  • eldiron-client-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip

For Linux, download

  • eldiron-client-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz

For the Web / WASM, download

  • eldiron-client-wasm32-unknown-unknown.tar.gz

For macOS, we currently do not have a pre-built binary.

Install via Cargo​

If you have Rust installed, you can install Eldiron Creator directly from crates.io:

cargo install eldiron-client

Running your Game

On Linux and Windows, just start the client and pass the name of the .eldiron game file on the command line.

For the Web, rename your .eldiron file to game.eldiron and put it in the same directory as index.html and the other files. You can then run the game on any web server.

Binary Files

Right now the client works directly on .eldiron source files. As we move closer to a v1 of Eldiron, I will add the export of binary project files from within Eldiron Creator. These binary files cannot be loaded back into the Creator and can only be run by the clients.
