Creating Packages

Learn how to create Games and Addons by defining a package.json and writing some Lua.

Games vs. Addons

User content in TASBox is split into two types: Games and Addons. These are collectively called Packages.

• Games have access to the full Lua API, the Menu realm and the ability to modify the Addon sandbox. Only one may be mounted at a time.
• Addons have access to a limited Lua API defined by the loaded Game, and multiple can be mounted at the same time.

This only applies to writing Games. Addons cannot modify the sandbox that they're run in.
