This is a 2d jump and run game engine. It should be possible to also create a 2d space game and even a 2d eagles eye game, with minor modifications to the initialisation of box2d. It is neccessary to get Box2D and SFML and install/setup those according to the following instructions: SFML and Box2D are both licensed under the libpng license and not my own work. Box2D ----- posix: Put it anywhere you like and create a link to the folder containing the following files/folders: drwxr-xr-x 5 4096 3. Okt 12:54 . drwxr-xr-x 9 4096 3. Okt 12:54 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 191 28. Feb 2010 Box2DConfig.cmake -rw-r--r-- 1 2249 3. Apr 2010 Box2D.h -rw-r--r-- 1 5033 29. Mär 2010 CMakeLists.txt drwxr-xr-x 3 4096 3. Okt 12:54 Collision drwxr-xr-x 2 4096 3. Okt 12:54 Common drwxr-xr-x 4 4096 3. Okt 22:23 Dynamics The link goes to include/Box2D, like so: include/Box2D -> /home/kamisori/work/Box2D_v2.1.2/Box2D/Box2D/ This way you can very simply switch to a new version of box2d if there should come any. Or if you plan to modify box2d you can switch between your version and the original one more easily. windows: probably it is best to put the folder Box2D containing the following files and folders directly into the include folder: folders: Collision Common Dynamics files: Box2DConfig.cmake Box2D.h CMakeLists.txt SFML ---- for developement i use 1.6, want to patch it to work with 2, not sure if it works with 1.7 posix: you (might) need to build it from source, and use --prefix=/usr i think. at least i had some problems when i set it up months ago. If i remember correctly, the libsfml-*.so must go into /usr/lib, while building from source puts it into /usr/local/lib. maybe it works with a precompiled bin from your package manager windows: no idea. try getting the binaries, and probably put it into the project root folder and into the bin/debug and bin/release folders.
