1 - Unlock Clockwork
By default, UWP apps can't communicate with other software running on the same PC. Open VS Code and execute the unlock command (press F1 > 'Unlock Clockwork Runtime') to let the Runtime and your dev tools talk to each other.
2 - Create a project
Open an empty folder and create a Clockwork project (press F1 > 'Create Clockwork Project').
3 - Deploy your project
Deploy your project to the Clockwork Runtime (press F1 > 'Deploy Clockwork Project') and click on its tile to run it. Each time you modify your game you will need to deploy it again so you can see the changes.
4 - Work on your project
It's time to get your hands dirty! You can start editing the components, levels and spritesheets to build your game. The
tutorials and the
documentation are your friends!
5 - Publish your game
When you are ready to share your project with the world, you can use the
bridges to export your game.
