Build tool
From MSX Game Library
Configuration
The Build tool configuration's parameters are defined in the engine (engine/script/js/setup_global.js) and can be overwrite by the user using at two levels:
- The default configuration (projects/default_config.js), commun for all the projects.
- The project configuration (projects/myProject/project_config.js), specific for a given project.
The value of the parameters redefined in a higher level replaces that of a lower level. The order of priority is: Project > Default > Engine.
