RUNE Interface

RUNE Node Editor

Build flows visually without writing boilerplate. RUNE lets you drag out Branch, Sequence, Button Events, Session State helpers, and any custom Luau-driven nodes onto a canvas, wire them together, and run the flow immediately.

What makes it easy:

• Guided first-run setup picks cache + flows folders so every asset lands where it belongs.
• Docked layout: flow list on the left, full node graph on the right with searchable node menu + per-node details.
• Built-in Luau runtime, logger, and session state inspector so you can test nodes live.
• Import/export flows as single `.flow` packages for sharing, versioning, or sending to the CLI runner.
• Per-flow settings (name, version, metadata) plus record folders that capture state snapshots for every run.

Getting started:

1.  Download the Windows build from this itch.io page.
2.  Unzip anywhere and double-click `RUNE.exe`.
3.  Pick your cache + flows directories when prompted.
4. Create a new flow or open an existing one from the flows list, then drag nodes onto the canvas and hit the run buttons to test.

System notes:

• Windows 10/11 64-bit with a GPU that can handle Dear ImGui/SDL3 rendering.
• Flows and cache live wherever you point the setup wizard (external drives work fine).
• Works great alongside the `runecli` tool for headless execution once you export a `.flow` bundle.'

runecli Flow Runner

Headless companion to the RUNE editor. `runecli.exe` loads the same flows you design in the editor and runs them on servers, build agents, or scheduled tasks.

Why you’ll like it:

• Execute any exported flow by ID: `runecli --flow-id sample_flow`.
• Import `.flow` bundles straight into your flows folder with `--import`.
• Validate bundles before sharing: `runecli --validate myflow.flow` checks `flow.json`, nodes, and referenced files.
• Respect your environment: point cache/flows directories via `RUNE_CACHE` / `RUNE_FLOWS` env vars or let it read the config.
• Tune logging on the fly with `--log-level info|debug|warn|error` and `--flow-log-mode disabled|per-flow`.

Quick start:

1. Download the CLI zip from this itch.io page and unpack it near your flows.
2. Place exported `.flow` packages (from the editor) where runecli can read them, or import them with `--import`.
3. Run `runecli --flow-id my_flow` to start from the `TriggerFlow` node. Exit codes mirror flow success/failure so you can script around them.

Tip: Pair runecli with Windows Task Scheduler, GitHub Actions self-hosted runners, or any CI/CD job to keep your RUNE automations running without opening the GUI.
