Turbulenz Python Tools

The Turbulenz Python Tools package provides a set of Python based tools for development of projects using the Turbulenz Engine.

The tools are primarily related to asset and code generation and optimization for HTML5 based games.

History

The latest release is 1.0.7 which can be found here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/turbulenz_tools/1.0.7

A full history of changes can be found in the Changelog

Installation/Setup

The recommended path for using the Turbulenz Python Tools is to either install the Turbulenz SDK from the Turbulenz Hub, or clone the Open Source Turbulenz Engine repository and follow it's setup guide. Both of these methods will install the Turbulenz Python Tools and their dependencies from PyPi using VirtualEnv, however you can also install Turbulenz Python Tools globally on your system or via similar virtual environment packages using Python package managers like SetupTools and pip.

Once installed the individual tools will be available from the command line in your environment, for example dae2json --help will give details on the available options for the dae2json tool.
