Exporting for PC
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to distribute a game for PC is to copy the executables
|
|
(``godot.exe`` on Windows, ``godot`` on the rest), compress the folder
|
|
and send it to someone else. However, this is often not desired.
|
|
|
|
Godot offers a more elegant approach for PC distribution when using the
|
|
export system. When exporting for PC (Linux, Windows, macOS), the exporter
|
|
takes all the project files and creates a ``data.pck`` file. This file is
|
|
bundled with a specially optimized binary that is smaller, faster and
|
|
does not contain the editor and debugger.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
If you export for Windows with embedded PCK files, you will not be able to
|
|
sign the program as it will break.
|
|
|
|
On Windows, PCK embedding is also known to cause false positives in
|
|
antivirus programs. Therefore, it's recommended to avoid using it unless
|
|
you're distributing your project via Steam as it bypasses code signing and
|
|
antivirus checks.
