Quick Export

Click the menu (☰) → Export → Export Playable. This downloads a self-contained build ready for deployment.

Then you can drag the zip archive into Netlify Drop to go live instantly.

Continue Development

To edit your game code, follow these steps:

1. Install Required Tools Download and install:

   • Node.js from nodejs.org (required to build the game)
   • Cursor (recommended, cursor.com) or VS Code (code.visualstudio.com)

   

2. Export Your Source In Gambo: Menu (☰) → Export → Export Source. Download the ZIP file.

   

3. Open the Project First unzip the downloaded bundle to a folder on your computer, then open Cursor/VS Code and click Open Project and select the unzipped folder:

   

4. Compile Your Game

   Once the project is opened and you've made any code changes, you can now build the project to get a playable version:

   Open the integrated terminal:

   • Cursor/VS Code: Press `Ctrl+`` (backtick) or go to Terminal → New Terminal

   Then run these commands:

   npm install
   npm run build
   

   This creates a dist/ folder containing the optimized, deployable game files.

5. Deploy to Netlify

   Drag the build folder (dist/) into Netlify Drop to publish your updated game.

   

   Note: If you make further code changes, repeat step 4 to rebuild before redeploying.

Localize Your Assets (Critical)

Gambo assets are stored as external URLs (e.g., https://cdn-game-mcp.gambo.ai/...). If Gambo closes or the links expire, your images and audio will break. You must download them locally.

After installing an code editor and opening the project, you can paste this prompt into the chat of your code editor:

I exported a game from gambo.ai. 

The source code references assets via external URLs like <https://cdn-game-mcp.gambo.ai/...which> may break later.

Please help me:

1. Find all external asset URLs in the codebase
2. Create a script to download these assets into a local `/assets` folder
3. Replace all URL references with relative local paths (e.g., `./assets/filename.png`)
4. Ensure the game still runs correctly with local assets

Keep the original folder structure organized by asset type (images, audio, sprites)."

Then send the message, and the AI will take care of the rest.
