Runtime version

This handbook matches runtime 0.1.0.

That number is the VN-Mikro player / author kit version — the app you write and build with. It is not the version of your novel.

Runtime vs game version

VersionWhere it livesWho cares
RuntimeAuthor kit MANIFEST.json → runtime_version; debug overlay Meta line (vn-mikro …)Matching kit, players, and this handbook
GameYour project game.json → versionStores, changelogs, Build output folder names

Mixing kits from different runtime versions can break Build targets or behaviour. Prefer one kit; check Meta or MANIFEST.json if something looks off.

Native extensions may set runtime_min so an older player skips a pack that needs a newer kit — extensions.

Where to see it

  1. Debug overlay (F12) → Meta — starts with vn-mikro and the runtime version.
  2. Author kit root — MANIFEST.json field runtime_version.
  3. This sidebar — the top link shows the same number when the handbook was built for that kit.
