Reporting Issues and Feedback
Making a game brings a lot of creative and technical pieces together. Doodle Engine is under active development, so if you run into a bug, I would love to hear about it. Your reports help make Doodle Engine better for everyone, and your feedback and ideas are just as welcome.
Visit the Doodle Engine issue tracker and take a quick look for a similar issue. If you do not find one, create an issue and begin its title with [Studio], [CLI], or [Feedback].
Report a problem
Section titled “Report a problem”Describe what you were doing, what you expected, and what happened instead. Include the steps that reproduce the problem and your operating system. Screenshots or a short recording are especially helpful for visual problems.
If you are comfortable sharing a sample project, it can help with the investigation. Please remove any private writing or assets first.
Doodle Studio
Section titled “Doodle Studio”After the problem occurs, choose Open Error Log from the Help menu. Attach the log to the issue, or paste the part from the time the problem occurred.
Please also include the Studio version shown in About under the Help menu.
Command line
Section titled “Command line”Include:
- The exact command you ran
- The complete terminal output
- The results of
npm ls @doodle-engine/cliandnode --version
Validation issues
Section titled “Validation issues”If the problem involves validation, start with the complete validation output in Doodle Studio or the terminal. It usually identifies the affected file and suggests what to check.
The Content Validation guide explains the checks and offers help with common validation errors. If the problem remains, include the complete validation output in your issue.
