A deployment is making the necessary files to run a game on a host. The files are (as of now): -- The four Luau static libraries. -- The eight Luau script files. -- The __images, images and setups folders. -- The lib folder holding the Qt libraries. -- The plugins folder for image formats and platforms used by Qt. -- The engine executable ./main. The engine can not be downloaded separately from a module. It is always downloaded as an implementation of a specific game (in this case Paths of Glory)....

The environment for development is Linux. If you don't have Linux you may create a dual-boot on your Windows machine or buy a dedicated machine. I recommend using Linux Mint as the OS. It is highly recommended that you use a virtual machine on your physical machine. Oracle VM VirtualBox is perfect for this purpose. Why a virtual machine? Partly for security reasons (GameTop is new software), partly because the setup for development should not interfere with any setup/configuration you already have...

This is the very first plan for testing. The testing is not exhaustive and needs to be a lot more fine-grained of course. Later I hope a lot of testing will be done automatically with script. A script will be able to programmatically do many of the steps below. Testing will for now consist of performing interactive user actions (definition of actions see below). The testing will have these four goals. The action must work (obviously). The action must be logged correctly in the log window. The action...
