Our goal for the Dubit Platform is to create the easiest and fastest way to create feature rich virtual worlds. We believe that creating a world should not be just a programmers job, and with the right tools a team of creatives can build something special. We’ll know when we’ve done our job when creatives can start creating the content, games, and adventures without the help of programmers.

1. Checkout the repository
2. Install the Flex 3 SDK
3. Set the mxmlc compiler to be available from the command line.
   1. Alternatively change the build.mxmlc property in the build.properties file to point to your mxmlc compiler.
4. Install apache ant – required for build scripts that copy assets and compile the applications.
5. Navigate to the project root directory, likely to be PlatformDemo, and run the build script by typing “ant build” into a terminal window
   1. The build task will create the bin directory with the compiled PlatformDemo.swf, index.html, and copy over all required assets.
   2. Never edit the bin directory by hand. This is your published directory, all contents will be destroyed and rebuilt by the build script.
