Start a Project
A Project is one game: its code and its assets. A person with access to a Project is a Member of it. Everything on this page happens on the Dashboard, at https://app.shell-engine.com.
Sign in
Section titled “Sign in”- Open
https://app.shell-engine.com. - Click Sign in with Google, and choose the Google account of the address you were invited by.
Projects are by invitation, and there is no sign-up. An address that was not invited is told so and is let no further. To get in, ask a Member of a Project to invite you.
Make a Project
Section titled “Make a Project”The Dashboard opens on the question What do you want to make?
- Describe the game in the text field, in your own words. This is the first thing the Agent is asked.
- Give it a name under Its name, or leave that empty.
- Choose The Agent’s model: Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, or Haiku 4.5. Opus 5.5 is chosen unless you choose another.
- Click Make it.
The browser goes on to the new Project’s editor, where the Agent has begun: the Thread on the right shows what it does.
To start with nothing, give a name and leave the description empty. The Project then starts as one scene with one camera in it, and the Agent waits to be asked. Your first scene goes on from there.
Your Projects
Section titled “Your Projects”Under Your Projects, each Project you are a Member of is a card.
| On the card | What it tells |
|---|---|
| Running or Stopped | Whether the Project’s machine runs now |
| An address | The Project’s own address, such as crate-game.shll.games |
| Changed 3 hours ago | When the Project last changed |
| $0.79 of $25.00 this month | What the Agent has cost this month, of what the Project may spend. See The Agent |
| Open | To the editor |
| Play | To the game alone, with no editor around it |
| People | Who is in the Project, and who was invited. See Working together |
A Project that is stopped
Section titled “A Project that is stopped”A Project stops by itself about 15 minutes after the last Member closed its editor, when the Agent is not working. Nothing is lost by that.
Open starts it again. You see The Project is starting for some seconds; the page asks again by itself, and then the editor is there with the Project as it was left.
Rename or delete a Project
Section titled “Rename or delete a Project”The Member who made a Project is its Owner. Only the Owner sees these two, under People and settings on the card.
- Rename: type another name and click Rename. The Project’s address stays the one it was.
- Delete this Project: type the Project’s name and click Delete. That takes the Project away from everyone in it: its editor, its game, and its files. Its repository on GitHub stays.
Sign out
Section titled “Sign out”Sign out is at the top of the Dashboard, beside your name.
