Getting Started

What is Lumen?

Lumen is a lightweight 2D game engine for Ghost. It's a standalone application that allows you to create and publish your own games.

Building Lumen

Lumen is currently under development and is not feature complete, however, you can experiment with it by downloading and building the source code from GitHub.

If you're on a Unix or Mac machine, you can easily download the source code and build Lumen directly:

git clone https://github.com/ghost-language/lumen
cd lumen
make

This downloads and builds the latest version of Lumen found on GitHub. You will immediately have the latest version of Lumen ready to go!
