Growtopia Items Enum Generator

A simple tool to generate C/C++ header files containing enums for Growtopia items based on the items.json decoded with GuckTube.

Background

When I was working on a Growtopia private server project, I needed a way to easily reference item IDs in my code. Manually maintaining a list of item IDs and their corresponding names was tedious and error-prone. To solve this problem, I decided to create the Growtopia Items Enum Generator, which automatically generates C/C++ header files containing enums based on the official Growtopia item list. This tool allows me to keep my code organized and up-to-date with the latest items without having to manually update the enum definitions every time new items are added or existing ones are modified.

Features

• Automated Generation: Automatically generates C++ enum headers based on the Growtopia items.json file.
• Time-Saving: Eliminates the need to manually write and maintain enums for thousands of items.
• Easy to Use: Generates the required files quickly with a simple startup script.
• Maintainable: Automatically update your project's enums whenever new items are added by simply re-running the generator.
