About the app

From website:
GDevelop is a free, open-source game engine that's 10x easier and faster to use than anything else. Build from anywhere - even on your phone. Publish everywhere: iOS, Android, Steam, web, gaming platforms. Reach millions of players or create the next hit game you've been dreaming of.

From myself:
Gdevelop is a free no-code game engine, that will help you out build games.
You can use it on RPI (I used it on RPI4-8GB), it works. You can make a game, and export it to example: android, or windows.
There is no option to export to "Raspberry Pi" (let we face it RPI is specific), but still there are documentation about it, how to do it, and yes it is possible. You can make a game and then run it on your RPI.

Did you only get the web version running on the Pi, or the desktop version? the appimage appears to only be for x86 CPU chips, so did you have to compile it yourself?

Would you be willing to follow our "creating an app" guide? Mainly, it would help if you handled the scripts to download and install this automatically. Otherwise someone from Pi-Apps would need to figure that out for you.

I am running desktop version of it - I had install it, and have it as a normal app, as the others.
I believe I had install it by using flatpak
( https://flathub.org/apps/io.gdevelop.ide )

[Botspot]

OK that is what I thought. Perfect, we have a built-in function to install flatpak apps easily: flatpak_install
This means the app is available for 64-bit only.

Here's the guide I mentioned earlier: https://pi-apps.io/wiki/development/Creating-an-app/
If you have basic terminal experience, this should be a piece of cake.

I could say I have basic terminal experience... but not sure how I can handle it.
OK! Will give a try this week (guess on Thursday)
