Getting started

This section covers making a project and installing dependencies with inflator

Warning

Before doing anything here, install goboscript, as it is required for the rest of this tutorial.

It is also recommended to use VSCode with the goboscript editor integration as an IDE of choice.

Let's make a new project with inflator. We'll call it tutorial.

Run inflate new tutorial. This makes a new project in the directory tutorial. Now open that folder in your IDE.

Here is what mine looks like:

What's the difference between this and goboscript new?
  1. Inflator also adds an inflator.toml file
  2. There is not as much customisation, e.g. disabling the automatic initialisation of a git repository
How can I use the behaviour from goboscript new?
  1. Make a project with goboscript new <args>
  2. Run inflate toml within that directory. This will create the inflator.toml file.

Now that we have a goboscript project, check that you can run it using goboscript build. This will generate a sb3 file that you can run in TurboWarp.

If you have TurboWarp bound to the .sb3 file type, run start tutorial.sb3 (windows) or xdg-open tutorial.sb3 (linux).

You should get a 'Hello World' program like this:
