Create Your First Project

Bullseye2D includes a handy tool to quickly scaffold a new game project:

bullseye2d create my_awesome_game

This will create a new project folder named my_awesome_game. Navigate into your new project:

cd ./my_awesome_game

Run Your Game

Inside your new project directory (e.g., my_awesome_game), start the development server:

webdev serve

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 (or the address shown in your terminal) to see your game running!

Start Coding!

Congratulations! You're all set up. Open the web/main.dart file in your project directory with your favorite code editor and begin crafting your game logic.

Happy game developing with Bullseye2D! 🎯
