Getting Started

Download Spry from GitHub. When you run the program, you'll see a window with the text: No game!.

Creating a Game

To make your first game:

• Create a new folder.

• Create a new file called main.lua in the new folder.

• Open main.lua in a text editor. Sublime Text, Notepad++, VS Code, and lite are some examples of text editors that you can use.

• Add the following code in main.lua, and save the file:

  function spry.start()
    font = spry.default_font()
  end
  
  function spry.frame()
    font:draw('Hello, World!', 400, 300)
  end

Running Your Game

The simplest way to load and run your project is to drag and drop the folder you created onto the Spry executable. You can also run the program from the console:

C:\path\to\spry.exe my_folder

A window should open with the text Hello World!. You've successfully created your first game using Spry!
