Quickstart

This quickstart takes you from an empty folder to a running game in a few minutes.

Create a project

Run the interactive scaffolder and answer the prompts (project name, language, package manager, whether to include a server, and so on):

nf new

Prefer a non-interactive run? Pass the answers as flags:

nf new --name my-game --language ts --package-manager pnpm --server

Move into the project

cd my-game

The scaffolder generates a nanoforge.config.json at the root. See Configuration for what every field means.

Run in development mode

Start the game locally with file watching:

nf dev

Build for production

nf build

Then start the built game:

nf start
