Prestige is a robust language oriented towards game developers to swiftly create and deploy games for the HTML5 Canvas (and, soon, pygame). It compiles directly to JavaScript and HTML and has a fully-fledged package management system.
On every release, there is a build added for Windows (x86) and Linux (x86). You can download the executable directly from there and add it to your PATH variables.
To build Prestige you will need:
- gcc or another C++ compiler
make- git
Initially, clone the Prestige repository and change to the Prestige directory.
git clone https://github.com/prestigeengine/prestige && cd prestige
If you're using GCC and you're on UNIX, you can compile using make fc-linux, and the code will be compiled to compiler.out and will be ran.
If you simply want to compile, but not immediately run, use make compile-only-linux.
Otherwise, simply use your own compiler to do this.
On Windows, with GCC: gcc -o compiler.exe main.cpp test/* compile/javascript/* manifest/* cat/* -I. -lstdc++
When compiling a Prestige file, you need two files, <main_file_name>.pres and manifest.txt.
Your Prestige file should contain your code and your manifest file should contain any extra information needed to run the project - such as images.
CMP: javascript
IMG: hello "https://fakeurl.fake/lol.png"
IMG: other_image "https://fakeurl.fake/lol2.png"
PKG: some_package
PKG: some_other_package
Your compilation should look something like this:
prestige main.pres manifest.txt
| Option | Meaning | Usage | Default | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CMP | Language to compile to. | CMP: javascript |
javascript |
1 |
| IMG | Image name and URL. | IMG: <name> <url> |
none | none |
| PKG | Project needs a package from the ppm directory. | PKG: <name> |
none | none |
ppm, or, the Prestige Package Manager, is the tool used to get package from the ppm directory.
ppm is not included with Prestige, you need to install it seperately.
If you need to add a package into your project, simply add it to your manifest file (PKG) and install it with ppm.
ppm install super-good-package
To install all packages required by your project in the manifest, simply do
ppm pr-install
