Editor Manual

HyEditor's default window layout.

• ㅤProject Explorer
  Open Projects will show up here. You may have multiple Projects open and browsable at once, but only one Project may be 'active' at a given time. All the details are provided in the Projects section.
• ㅤAsset Manager
  The currently active Project's Asset Manager. Each tab along the top are the major asset types handled independently from each other. All the details are provided in the Asset Manager section.
• ㅤProject Tab Bar
  All currently open Project Items from the active Project are shown here. You can cycle between them with Ctrl+Tab and each item has its own Undo/Redo stack.
• ㅤProject Item Properties
  Shows all the properties of the currently selected Project Item in the Project Tab Bar. The properties set here set are reflected in the middle render window.
• ㅤMiddle Render Window
  The currently selected Project Item is previewed here. The renderer used here is the same renderer (HyEngine) used in your game. Previews are created by simulating the same load process as well, so it's a WYSIWYG work-flow. Pan the view with W A S D or Middle Button, and zoom with the Mouse Wheel .
• ㅤAuxiliary Window
  The Auxiliary window is contextually used when needed. By default it'll display logs, but when an additional window is needed (like when creating TileSets), a new tab along the bottom will appear and be shown. Its visibility can be toggled with Ctrl+Space.
