README

Greenworks

  • Greenworks is a node.js addon that allows you to integrate your HTML5 game (or app) with Steamworks by exposing a number of Steamworks APIs to JavaScript.
  • Greenworks was originally developed by Greenheart Games to enable Steam integration in Game Dev Tycoon. Since then, it has been open-sourced and is used in many other projects.
  • Currently Greenworks supports:
    • node v0.8, v0.10, v0.12, v4, v5, v6, v7, v8, v9 and v10+
    • NW.js v0.8, v0.11+
    • Electron v1.0.0+
    • Steam SDK v1.62
  • Greenworks is built using Native Abstractions for Node.js to support different node versions.

Download

Prebuilt binaries of Greenworks for NW.js can be found on the releases page.
