Macros

DM_SAVE_HOME

override the save directory

Overrides the save directory when using sys.get_save_file()

DM_SERVICE_PORT

set the engine service port

Overrides the engine service port, when creating the internal http server (e.g web profiler) Valid values are integers between [0, 65535] and the string "dynamic" (which translates to 0). Default value is 8001.

DM_QUIT_ON_ESC

enables quit on escape key

Enables quitting the app directly by pressing the ESCAPE key. Set to "1" to enable this feature.

DM_LOG_PORT

sets the logging port

Enables receiving the log on a designated port (e.g. using telnet) Valid values are integers between [0, 65535]

--verify-graphics-calls=

disables OpenGL error checking

Disables OpenGL error checking. This is especially beneficial for running debug builds in the Chrome browser, in which the calls to glGetError() is notoriously slow. Default value is "true" for debug builds, and "false" for release builds.

EXAMPLES

$ ./dmengine --verify-graphics-calls=false

launch_project

launch with a specific project

Launch the engine with a specific project file If no project is specified, it will default to "./game.projectc", "build/default/game.projectc"

EXAMPLES

$ ./dmengine some/folder/game.projectc

--config=

override game property

Override game properties with the format --config=section.key=value

EXAMPLES

$ ./dmengine --config=project.mode=TEST --config=project.server=http://testserver.com
