This project is a 3D/2D engine developed under SDL and OpenGL for educational purposes.
The structure of the map is taken from the map generator of this tutorial: http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/game-programming/polygon-map-generation/
Any feedback is much appreciated. If that also gives you gamedesign ideas, tell me about it!
The buildsystem is CMake to be cross-platform. The script takes care of downloading the dependencies of the project and building them from source.
Firstly, install the dependencies for the building environment.
sudo apt-get install build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev libgomp1 cmake
To build the project, simply run
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
The project then needs to be run from the source directory:
cd ..
./build/bin/Release/gourdin
In order to easily install the dependencies, Homebrew is a good option. (Similar to apt-get in linux).
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
You then need CMake to generate your project and Clang (C++ compiler) to build it. The SDL library is also retrieved from brew for OS X PNG compatibility
brew install cmake llvm sdl2 sdl2_image
Building the project is the same as on linux:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
Please note that cmake might throw some errors about testing OpenMP. You can ignore them, the CMake config file is not up to date with the compiler Clang, that features OpenMP natively.
The project then needs to be run from the source directory:
cd ..
./build/bin/Release/gourdin
The project is also compatible with Android Studio.
- JDK and JRE 8 (
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre) - Android SDK and NDK (with Android Build-tools 28.0.3 and Android Platform API 28, though these are configurable)
- ANDROID_HOME and ANDROID_NDK_HOME environment variables set (I did this in /etc/environment)
cd android
./gradlew assembleDebug
./gradlew installDebug
Download and install CMake from its website: https://cmake.org/download/
You can now create a new directory named build at the root of gourdin. Running CMake will generate the project files for the IDE you use. You can then open the solution files and start the build.
The VS solution should be configured automatically, while a Code::Blocks project needs a bit more attention (see next section).
In VS, you choose the build type within the solution, while it would be done with CMake for Code::Blocks
To be able to run your project, you have to change some project parameters in Code::Blocks
Go in Project -> Properties, then on the tab "Build targets"
- Type: "GUI application"
- Output filename: "path/to/out.exe" (eg "bin/Release/out.exe")
- Execution working dir: ".."
