trackmaker

Heavily work-in-progress GUI chart editor for EX-XDRiVER written with LÖVE.

Run

Download a release, and follow the instructions:

• Windows: Download and extract trackmaker-win64-${ver}.zip, then run trackmaker.exe.

• macOS: Download and extract trackmaker-mac-${ver}.zip. Either drag into your Applications folder or run as usual.

  If you get an error along the lines of "the developer cannot be verified", see: Open a Mac app from an unknown developer

  macOS builds should work on 10.11+. Apple Silicon remains untested as I do not have a machine to test the builds on.

• Linux: Download and extract trackmaker-linux-${ver}.zip, and install LÖVE from your distribution's package manager (love2d in most repos). Run start.sh.

Contributing

Feel free to contribute anything you'd like to see. I'm following a pretty specific vision with the editor, but contributions are always appreciated and I'll always try my best to work out how to fit them well. Thank you!
