Mobile pumpkin developing

If you are mobile user and want edit source code - you can do this! (this page was written on android using helix)

First of all we need terminal app. We recommend termux, because its stable and opensource. Download needed apk file for your architecture of device and install termux.

After this, you need run some commands. We use helix with it simplicity.

  pkg update && pkg upgrade
  pkg install build-essential git rust rust-analyzer taplo helix helix-grammar nodejs

If you want contribute, you need install github.

  pkg install gh

Also we recommend install fish shell, because its more friendly that bash.

  pkg install fish
  chsh -s fish

Now you installed basic tools, but we need some setup. If you want contribute you need login into github.

  gh auth login

Also setup git: change editor to vim, edit credentials and etc.

After this, you need clone pumpkin repo. (before this you can create projects dir with mkdir proj, its useful)

  git clone https://github.com/Pumpkin-MC/Pumpkin.git

If you want contribute, you need fork our repo, and change Pumpkin-MC to your username on github.

Now all setup done! Enjoy 😃

Why not use vscode?

1. Vscode is hard to setup, by the way its works only on web with limited functional.
2. Rust analyzer dont work on it, maybe emulator can hep with it, but its slow down code compilation.
3. Vscode not good for android devices, because its highly desirable to have a mouse, while in helix you need only keyboard.
4. Vscode laggy on some devices.
