How disko works

Choose a path

Build disko games visually in Disko Studio, or in code with the CLI. Both make the same packages.

There are two ways to make a disko game. Both produce an ordinary game package that the registry, room hosts and players treat the same way.

Disko Studio (recommended)

Disko Studio is a visual editor in the browser. You draw the stadium, describe rules as sentences in an event sheet ("When a disc crosses Goal, add 1 to score"), build the Menu and HUD, play the game in the tab and publish it, without installing anything.

Start with your first game in the Studio.
Bring an AI assistant along with building with AI.

Code

Write the game in TypeScript or JavaScript against the game API, test it in local rooms with the disko CLI, and publish from the terminal. Choose this for full control, your own tools and version control.

Start with Install and Create your first game.

Switching later

A Studio project can be turned into code once, with disko eject. The result is a normal project that you keep editing in code; it does not go back into the Studio. See Studio or code?.
