# axys-console
## Vision of axys-console
A command line tool that lets you create, run, publish, debug, etc… your game. It is the swiss-army knife for axys.
This command line tool is in its early stages.
Examples:
```
# starts a new project called "My Game" for multi-platform
$ axys new MyGame -l cpp -p org.axys1.mygame
$ cd MyGame
# Will deploy the project to device and run it
$ axys run -p android
```
# Devel Info
## Internals
`axys.py` is an script whose only responsability is to call its plugins.
`axys.bat` will invoke `axys.py` on windows
`axys` will invoke `axys.py` on Mac OS X and linux
To get a list of all the registered plugins:
```
$ axys
```
To run the "new" plugin:
```
$ axys new
```
## Adding a new plugin to the console
You have to edit `bin/axys.ini`, and add the class name of your new plugin there. Let's say that you want to add a plugin that deploys the project:
```
# should be a subclass of CCPlugin
project_deploy.CCPluginDeploy
```
And now you have to create a file called `project_deploy.py` in the `plugins` folder.
A new, empty plugin, would look like the code shown below:
```
import cocos
# Plugins should be a sublass of CCPlugin
class CCPluginDeploy(cocos.CCPlugin):
# in default category
@staticmethod
def plugin_category():
return ""
@staticmethod
def plugin_name():
return "deploy"
@staticmethod
def brief_description():
return "Deploy the project to target."
def run(self, argv, dependencies):
print "plugin called!"
print argv
```
Plugins are divided by category, depending on it's function: project, engine, ...
The plugins of `project` is in default category, it's an empty stirng `""`.
# Generate Executable
Now you can use the `toexec/build_console.py` for generating a executable file of `cocos` command.
## Environment Requirement
* [Python 2.7](https://www.python.org) (2.7.5 is well tested)
* [PyInstaller](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyInstaller) (PyInstaller 2.1 is well tested)
* Necessary PATH environment for python & pyinstaller.
__Attention:To keep compatible with both Windows-32bit & Windows-64bit, please install 32bit python on Windows.__
## Steps
Run `python build_console.py` in command line. Then the executable file & necessary files will be generated in `toexec/output/PLATFORM`.
The usage of `build_console.py`:
```
usage: build_console.py [-h] [-s SRC_PATH] [-d DST_PATH]
Generate executable file for axys-console by PyInstaller.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-s SRC_PATH, --src-path SRC_PATH
Specify the path of axys-console.
-d DST_PATH, --dst-path DST_PATH
Specify the path of output.
```
## Using the Executable
The generated executable files can replace the source code of axys-console.
To fit the limitation of the axys-console implementation. The generated executable files should located at `ENGINE_PATH/tools/console/bin`.
Then you can use the executable file as same as the source code.
