Cursed

Open-source roguelike made with libtcod and written in C++

About

Just a personal project of mine, the basic idea being: what if you could never get hit in a roguelike?

Building

Depends on: libtcod, SDL2, and SDL2_image

You need git or some other way of getting the source code; in order to follow along with the instructions below run open a console and run these commands:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/afyber/cursed-game.git
cd cursed-game

Which will download the source code into the cursed-game directory and move into it.

Building on Windows

Requires: Visual Studio with CMake (recommended), or CMake and a build system

1. To setup the vcpkg submodule run .\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat Alternatively, to use your own installation of vcpkg you can specify it with the -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=path\to\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake option on your CMake command in the next step or setting the CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE variable.
2. Use CMake to generate the build configuration either by opening cursed-game in Visual Studio or by creating a build\ directory and running cmake .. in the build\ subdirectory. Unless you specified a different installation this command will attempt to use the vcpkg submodule to find the dependencies.
3. Build the project using Visual Studio or the build system you specified for CMake, which will copile the executable cursed-game.exe.
4. (Optional) Run the install configuration, which will put the files needed to run the game into the installation folder (Which for Visual Studio is cursed-game\out\install\{platform}\).

Building on Linux

Requires: CMake and a build system of your choice

1. To setup the vcpkg submodule run ./vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
2. Create a new folder with mkdir build, then run cmake .. in the build/ directory to generate the build configuration.
3. Build the project using the build system of your choice (e.g. run make), which will compile the executable cursed-game.
4. (Optional) Run the install configuration, which will put everything the game needs to run in /usr/local/ (Sometimes? Where the files go isn't fully consistent).
