agmcleod Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 You downloading from this page? https://github.com/melonjs/melonJS/releases It's possible something was wrong with github. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Kitten Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 I downloaded the Master zip from somewhere else, extracted the files but opening the grunt file gives this Error: Row: 2 Symbol: 1 Mistake: "module" - lack of definition Code: 800A1391 Source: Mistake in the performance of JavaScript Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Kitten Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 It looks like a programming error, but many have downloaded without Problem! Could antivirus be stopping it? Is there a program that i don't have but need? P.S. That is not exactly the error message, its a rough translation from russian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parasyte Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Argh, really? We're just using github to host the downloads. Maybe you will have better luck fetching it through the CDN? https://cdn.rawgit.com/melonjs/melonJS/releases/download/4.1.1/melonJS-min.js Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Kitten Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 That link gives me error 404: File not found. :( P.S Thanks for the quick replies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parasyte Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Weird, the rawgit CDN doesn't support release links! I never noticed that. The master.zip is an archive containing the source code release. The build releases are one of these two: https://github.com/melonjs/melonJS/releases/download/4.1.1/melonJS-min.js https://github.com/melonjs/melonJS/releases/download/4.1.1/melonJS.js The first link is the compressed build, and the second one is the "debug" build. You can also use the boilerplate project, which contains everything you need to get started: https://github.com/melonjs/boilerplate/archive/master.zip And follow one of the tutorials to learn how to use it: http://melonjs.github.io/tutorial-platformer/ http://melonjs.github.io/tutorial-space-invaders/ Happy game dev'ing!

Parasyte Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I think you're "opening it" as if it was an application. Double-clicking on the .js file should really just open your favorite code editor with the file's contents. It sounds like you're double-clicking on it and Windows Script Host is trying to execute it, which is not at all what you want. Have you tried going through the tutorials? They describe step-by-step how to use the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Kitten Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Oh. I tnink its working now and i feel really stupid. Thanks! <:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Kitten Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 There shold really be a video with the tutorial; what does " after unzipping the tutorial assets into the boilerplate directory structure" even mean??? <:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obiot Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 l but then choose the boilerplate data directory as destination folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
