[Product Name] is a cross-platform desktop application that combines gaming and education to create an immersive learning experience for students. Built with Electron and React, the application delivers native-like performance across Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

• Cross-Platform Support: Run seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Interactive Learning: Gamified educational content that keeps students engaged
• Modern UI: Built with React and Tailwind CSS for a responsive, intuitive interface
• Offline Capability: Desktop application that works without constant internet connectivity

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Node.js: Version 18.x or higher (Download)
• npm: Version 9.x or higher (comes with Node.js)
• Git: For version control (Download)

macOS:

• Xcode Command Line Tools: xcode-select --install

Windows:

• Windows SDK (for building Windows installers)
• Visual Studio Build Tools (recommended)

Linux:

• Standard build tools: sudo apt-get install build-essential

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd gamefi-app

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

Or using Yarn:

   yarn install

To start the application with hot-reload enabled:

npm run dev

This command runs both the React development server and Electron concurrently. The application will automatically reload when you make changes to the code.

If you need to run the React app or Electron process individually:

React development server only:

npm run dev:react

Electron process only:

npm run dev:electron

To check code quality and style:

npm run lint

To preview the production build locally:

npm run preview

The application can be built for multiple operating systems. You can build on your current platform or cross-compile for other platforms (with some limitations).

npm run dist:mac

Output: dist/[Product Name]-[version].dmg

Requirements:

• Must be run on macOS for proper code signing
• Builds x64 (Intel) compatible application

npm run dist:win

Output: dist/[Product Name]-[version].exe

Produces:

• NSIS installer (.exe)
• x64 (64-bit) compatible application

npm run dist:linux

Output: dist/[Product Name]-[version].AppImage

Produces:

• AppImage (universal Linux format)
• x64 compatible application

The build process consists of three stages:

1. TypeScript Compilation: Transpiles Electron main process TypeScript code
2. React Build: Creates optimized production bundle with Vite
3. Electron Packaging: Uses electron-builder to create platform-specific installers

Build settings are configured in package.json under the build section. Customize app icons, file associations, and installer options there.
