Paperize helps game designers make better games by leveraging free web tools to rapidly create and iterate on their designs.

• Use the tool
• Support the project on Patreon
• Chat with other game designers (and the Paperize core team) on Discord
• Read the Docs
• Contribute to the Docs

• Install NodeJS. Suggested version is 14.
• clone this repository
• Set up your API Keys with Google:
  • visit the Google API Developer Console
  • create a new Project for your Paperize keys
  • create the OAuth consent screen. You just need to enter the application name, the support email and keep the existing scopes for the moment.
  • Add a google account you plan to test with as a "Test User". (While publishing status is set to "Testing", only test users are able to access the app.)
  • create a Google OAuth Client ID
    • Application Type: Web Application
    • Name: totally up to you
    • Authorized JavaScript Origins: http://localhost:8080
    • Authorized Redirect URIs: none
  • from the Library menu, enable these APIs:
    • Web Fonts Developer API and create an API Key
    • Google Drive API and choose the previously created API key
    • Google Picker API and choose the previously created API Key
    • Google Sheets API and choose the previously created API Key
  • Open the OAuth Consent Screen menu again, and add the following scopes:
    • Google Drive API .../auth/drive.file
• Set up the API keys in your project:
  • copy and rename example.env.development to .env.development (cp example.env.development .env.development)
  • modify .env.development to contain the keys you just set up in the Google Developer Console
• npm install
• npm start
• visit http://localhost:8080 and go go go!
• Please, be sure to use localhost:8080, as opposed to 127.0.0.1, when adding the Authorized Javascript Origins and opening your server in the browser, since 127.0.0.1 is not allowed by Google API permissions.
