The best game that ever existed!
Zordzman-plus-plus (Zordzman++) will be a remake of the original Zordzman created by JavaCakess in, well, Java. This remake shall be in C++, and will be developed by a team rather than one person.
Dependencies
It mainly uses SDL and other SDL libraries.
Note: SDLNet is no longer being used, and our project will be using system sockets instead. (For Windows, WinSock may be used.)
It uses json11 for parsing JSON, cppformat for formatting, and hash-library for hashing and base64 for base64 encoding & decoding.
All of the above libraries are located in common/extlib/libname/.
Our own written libs are in common/libname.
SDL: https://libsdl.org/download-2.0.php (Required: 2.0.0 or greater)
SDL_Image: https://libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/ (Required: 2.0.0 or greater)
SDL_Mixer: http://libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/ (Required: 2.0.0 or greater)
SDL_TTF: http://libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/ (Required: 2.0.0 or greater)
Building
There are build instructions for Mac and Linux below.
Mac OS X
REQUIRES XCODE (atleast 4.2, free), download from the App store
Download SDL2 and the additional SDL2 libraries (image, mixer etc.).
Then, after you've opened your SDL2.dmg, copy the SDL2.framework and
move it into /Library/Frameworks directory. You can find this by navigating to Macintosh HD (usually by double clicking the icon on the desktop) and going to /Library/Frameworks.
Then, do the same with SDL2_image.dmg, SDL2_mixer.dmg and SDL2_ttf.dmg.
The next part requires XCode, and what you need to do is find your XCode.app, right click, select "Show Package Contents" and
you'll be brought to the folder "Contents".
Navigate to
Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.x.sdk/Developer/System/Library/Frameworks
and copy OpenGL.framework into /Library/Frameworks (back where you put the SDL stuff).
Then navigate back to the zordzman-plus-plus folder, and proceed to do the CMake instructions for Linux. They are almost the exact same.
Linux
If you don't know how to install SDL on Linux, check out this tutorial: LazyFoo
Use CMake to build. If you don't know how to use CMake, do the following:
Assuming you are in the zordzman-plus-plus directory, do these steps:
mkdir ../build-zordzman-plus-plus
cd ../build-zordzman-plus-plus
cmake ../zordzman-plus-plus
make
Contributing
Anyone is welcome to contribute! Just make sure to read CONTRIBUTING.md before doing so!
We'll try our best to make collaborating on Zordzman with any OS a good experience!
