meku

meku is a simple customizable asset pipeline for game makers

What it does

In the simplest case, it just copies your content folder. But you can provide rules for specific extensions, which will process those files.

Some use cases could be:

Exporting .psd to a image format your engine supports (e.g. .png)
Export your Tiled .tmx files to lua, json ...
Precompile your script files

and many others.

So for example your content looks like this.

content/
├── main.lua
├── meku.yml
├── sprite.psd
└── map.tmx

After processing with meku:

.../content/
├── main.lua
├── sprite.png
└── map.lua

Note that the meku.yml is missing in the resulting folder. In this yaml the rules are specified and is skipped in the process. The sprite.psd and map.tmx got replaced by sprite.png and map.lua.

The meku.yml could have been looked like this:

"*.psd":
  commands:
    - convert %{src_file} %{tar_dir}/%{src_file_stem}.png
"*.tmx":
  commands:
    - tiled --export-map \"Lua files (*.lua)\" %{src_file} %{tar_dir}/%{src_file_stem}.lua

It describes the rules convert .psd files and .tmx files to their useable end result.
