This project uses CMake in order to generate a make file. Install CMake through whatever means necessary, though the easiest would be using sudo apt-get install cmake on the command line.
In addition to this, you must install the dev versions of SDL2, SDL2_image, and SDL2_ttf. On Debian, this can be done by calling sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev.
Then, run installDependencies.bash to download other dependencies onto the project directory. After that, you can compile this project by simply running compile.bash to compile an executable into executable/. It's as easy as that!
To install everything that was said above (and the compilation tools necessary, the command is pacman -S cmake sdl2 sdl2_image sdl2_ttf base-devel wget. After that, follow the same steps as Debian to compile.
Installing prerequisites on Windows is a bit more complicated. First, download the binary executable of CMake and install it. Be sure to install the executable that matches your system architecture.
After that, create a folder named Dependencies. In that folder, create a folder titles SDL_FULL and put two folders named include and x86 inside it; Here is where you put the header files of SDL2, SDL2_image, and SDL_tff in include and their x86 .lib files into x86. After that, follow these steps
- Get the
SDL2-devel-2.0.xarchive from here - Get the
SDL2_image-devel-2.0.xarchive from here - Get the
SDL2_ttf-devel-2.0.xarchive from here - For each archive, unzip the contents of their
includefolder intoDependencies/SDL_FULL/includeandlib/x86folder intoDependencies/SDL_FULL/x86 - Move all the .dll files into a separate folder at the root of the project; This is where your executable will run.
This project also requires the use of two open-source libraries nlohmann/json and Tessil/hopscotch-map. Download the include.zip file in nlohmann/json and put its contents in a folder titled json in Dependencies/, and clone / download the source code of Tessil/hopscotch-map and rename the folder for the project as hopscotch-map and put it in Dependencies/. After that, you're all set!
To compile this project, you need to use CMake and your prefered compiler to generate a x86 (32-bit) version of your solution / executable.
After this, the compiled executable must be put into ANY folder in the root directory of the project along with the aforementioned .dll files of SDL2. After this, you can run the game :)
