Egretia
On June 8th, the Egretia platform officially released version 1.0 of RC(Release Candidate) of the Egretia HTML5 blockchain game development workflow. The Egretia blockchain game developer workflow can help HTML5 game developers to develop blockchain games quickly and easily without learning complicated blockchain technology first.
This version mainly includes the following content:
- Launcher 1.0.53 Release
- Egretia Server 1.0 Release
- SmartIDE 1.0 Release
- Web Wallet 1.0 Release
- Egretia’s Product Center officially launched

1. Launcher: Egretia Tool and Service Integration Tool
The Launcher is a unified portal for Egretia tools and services. Not only does it facilitate the download of the management engine, but it also downloads and manages Egretia’s workflow-related tools. In addition, HTML5 projects are created, managed, and published by the Launcher. Therefore, the first thing that developers need to install is the Launcher. Today, version 1.0.53 of the Launcher is officially released. Not only does the version support the creation of blockchain games, but it also supports the release of the games.
• Egret Launcher makes it easy to create and publish blockchain games quickly.
• Code coloring and code hints are supported by using Wing to develop blockchain games.
• The Egretia SDK embeds a Web Wallet so that developers are able to use Web Wallet for game debugging.

2. Egretia Server: Blockchain Local Node Server
Egretia Server is a blockchain local node server that you can use to deploy smart contracts, develop applications, and run tests. Egretia Server mainly contains four functions: account, block, transaction, and log.
• Account: The page shows the account and its balance.
• Blocks: The page shows the mined blocks, the gas that is being used, and transaction information.
• Transaction: The page lists all transactions that are running on the blockchain.
• Logs: The page shows a detailed log of the Egretia Server, which is very helpful for debugging.

3. SmartIDE: Writing the Smart Contract on the Cloud IDE
The development of blockchain games cannot live without the development of smart contracts. SmartIDE is a powerful and smart contract development tool that allows you to write Solidity contracts directly on the cloud. Working with the Egretia HTML5 development engine and Egretia Server will greatly improve the efficiency of development.
SmartIDE contains the following eight functions:
• Explorer: The file browser lists all files stored in the browser by default. You can see them in your browser folder. You can rename, delete or add new files to File Explorer at any time.
• Code Editor: The SmartIDE Editor recompiles the code every time when you change the current file or select another one. It also provides syntax highlighting of keywords.
• Console output: The console can view events output by the SmartIDE.
• Compiling: If developers need to use the compiling function after writing the smart contract, the function will display any possible errors under the contract.
• Running & Deployment: The Run tab is an important part of SmartIDE. It allows you to deploy smart contracts into the blockchain.
• Settings: Settings dispatches the current version of the compiler and allows you to switch to other versions.
• Analysis: The analysis function provides information about the last compilation. By default, each compilation will run a new analysis.
• Debugging: This module allows you to debug transactions. It can be used to deploy transactions created from SmartIDE. (Debugging works only if the current environment provides the necessary functionality).

4. Web Wallet: Seamlessly Fusion the Blockchain Web Wallet
The Web Wallet is a web-side wallet provided for developers by the Egretia team. Another big difference between blockchain game development and traditional game development is that blockchain games need to interact with the blockchain, so they need to deal with wallets constantly. Although there are third-party wallets, such as Metamask on the market, it is not very convenient for blockchain game development, so the Egretia team developed the local debug wallet, Web Wallet. During the development of blockchain games, Web Wallet is embedded into the game so that it can be used easily when debugging the game.
