## Getting Started The fastest way to get started is with the [nightshade-template](https://github.com/matthewjberger/nightshade-template). ## Examples For a collection of example projects showcasing Nightshade's features, see the [nightshade-examples](https://github.com/matthewjberger/nightshade-examples) repository. ## Quickstart ```bash # native just run # wasm (webgpu) just run-wasm # serve site cd site && just serve ``` > All chromium-based browsers like Brave, Vivaldi, Chrome, etc support WebGPU. > Firefox also [supports WebGPU](https://mozillagfx.wordpress.com/2025/07/15/shipping-webgpu-on-windows-in-firefox-141/) now starting with version `141`. > Run `just` with no arguments to list all commands ## Prerequisites * [just](https://github.com/casey/just) * [trunk](https://trunkrs.dev/) (for web builds) * [git-cliff](https://git-cliff.org/) (for changelog generation) * [gh](https://cli.github.com/) (GitHub CLI, for creating releases) ## Platform Guides ### Native (Windows/macOS/Linux) Build and run natively using cargo: ```bash just run [project] # defaults to nightshade-editor just build # release build ``` ### WebAssembly (WASM) Build for web browsers with WebGPU support: ```bash just run-wasm [project] # defaults to editor just build-wasm [project] ``` ### Steam Deck See [STEAM_DECK.md](docs/STEAM_DECK.md) for deployment instructions. ### Steam Integration See [STEAM.md](docs/STEAM.md) for Steam integration (achievements, stats, friends). ### Profiling & Logging See [PROFILING.md](docs/PROFILING.md) for detailed profiling and logging documentation. ### Plugins See [PLUGINS.md](docs/PLUGINS.md) for runtime WASI plugin support. ### Scripting See [SCRIPTING.md](docs/SCRIPTING.md) for Rhai scripting support. ## Contributing Nightshade is currently in its early stages of development. The project is not accepting external contributions at this time as the architecture and core systems are still being established. Once the engine reaches a more mature and stable state, I will open up contributions and provide contributor guidelines. ## License Nightshade is free, open source and permissively licensed!
