🚀 Getting Started

Welcome to App Dev In A Box — your automated mobile game development platform.

  • Create a game — Go to "Create Game", pick a type, describe your idea, and select your target platforms (iOS and/or Android).
  • Use a template — Browse the Templates section for pre-configured game types with built-in mechanics.
  • Build & deploy — Once your game is generated, click "Build" to create native app packages.
  • Manage projects — Track all your games in "My Projects" with search, filter, and status tracking.
✨ Features
  • AI Game Generation — Describe your idea and AI generates the full project structure, code, and assets.
  • 8 Game Templates — Platformer, Puzzle, Arcade, Runner, FPS, Racing, RPG, and Tower Defense.
  • Native Builds — Generate real iOS (.ipa) and Android (.apk) packages from your projects.
  • Project Management — Full CRUD with search, filter, and real-time status tracking.
  • Dev Tools Monitor — Check the health of your development environment, build system, and API.
  • 25+ Languages — Interface supports English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and many more.
🔧 Troubleshooting
  • Project won't generate — Ensure you've selected at least one platform (iOS or Android). Web is not supported.
  • Build fails — Check the Dev Tools page for system status. The build system requires all services to be online.
  • Database disconnected — The database may be auto-suspended. It will reconnect automatically on the next API call.
  • Slow performance — Complex game descriptions may take longer to process. Keep descriptions under 500 words for best results.
❓ FAQ

Can I build for web?
No. App Dev In A Box focuses exclusively on native mobile platforms — iOS and Android only.

How does AI generation work?
The AI analyzes your game description and type, then generates a complete project structure including code, asset directories, and platform-specific configurations.

Can I edit generated code?
Yes. All generated projects produce standard source files that you can open and modify in any code editor.

What happens to my data?
All project data is stored in a secure PostgreSQL database. Your projects and settings persist between sessions.
