CLI overview

Oxid is CLI-first.

Instead of hiding engine setup behind a large editor or build pipeline, the project entrypoint is a native command that:

  • generates the initial files you need
  • reads project metadata from package.json
  • starts the runtime directly from the current directory

Commands available today​

oxid new​

Creates a new project directory and writes the initial scaffold.

oxid run​

Loads package.json, resolves oxid.entry, starts the runtime and opens the game window.

Global locale option​

The CLI also accepts:

oxid --lang en-US run

That option changes Oxid's own output and runtime error messages. It does not automatically localize your game content.
