Why use Nightbird?
Frankly, we do not recommend it yet. Nightbird is still in pre-alpha, with many more features and refinements planned before a proper release. The engine is constantly improving with the aim of providing reliable cross-platform development for Windows, Linux, Wii U, and 3DS.
App
The app is the program that runs on the target platform. Assets are loaded from cooked binary platform-specific formats.
Editor
The editor provides tools to create and edit scenes, adding model and audio assets, and cook them into platform-specific formats for the App.
Project
Your project can be compiled in two configurations: Editor or App. With Editor the project is built as a shared library for the Editor to load at runtime. For App, the project is build as a standalone excutable for the target platform.
