Dink Smallwood HD

Just want to play?

Visit https://www.rtsoft.com/pages/dink.php for installers for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.

Also mirrored on The Dink Network: https://www.dinknetwork.com/file/dink_smallwood_hd/

Linux (build & play from source)? Single command setup (Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora/Arch/openSUSE/Alpine):

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SethRobinson/RTDink/master/linux_setup.sh | bash

This clones the repo, installs dependencies, builds from source, and downloads the game data automatically.

Linux (Flatpak)? Install on any distro:

sudo apt install flatpak  # if you don't have it.  Replace apt with dnf (Fedora) or your distro's package manager.
wget https://www.rtsoft.com/dink/DinkSmallwoodHD-x86_64.flatpak
flatpak install --user DinkSmallwoodHD-x86_64.flatpak
flatpak run com.rtsoft.DinkSmallwoodHD

(If on an ARM platform, use DinkSmallwoodHD-aarch64.flatpak instead: wget https://www.rtsoft.com/dink/DinkSmallwoodHD-aarch64.flatpak then flatpak install --user DinkSmallwoodHD-aarch64.flatpak.)

Building from source

RTDink can be built for multiple platforms. Each uses the Proton SDK. Each has keyboard, controller and touchscreen support.

| Platform | Build System | Quick Start | |----------|-------------|-------------| | Windows | Visual Studio 2017+ | See detailed Windows instructions below | | Linux | CMake + SDL2 | git clone ... && ./linux_setup.sh (details) | | macOS | Xcode | Broken/unmaintained -- see INSTALL.md | | HTML5 | Emscripten | See Proton HTML5 setup | | iOS | Xcode | Proton SDK sibling layout, open RTDink.xcodeproj (more info) | | Android | Gradle + CMake | Proton SDK sibling layout, open AndroidGradle/ in Android Studio (more info) |

Windows

RTDink is cloned inside the Proton SDK tree:

proton/
  shared/          <-- Proton SDK
  RTDink/          <-- this repo
    windows_vs2017/
      iPhoneRTDink.sln

Step 1 - Getting the Proton SDK and building RTSimpleApp

1. Clone the Proton SDK: git clone https://github.com/SethRobinson/proton

2. Run proton\RTSimpleApp\media\update_media.bat to prepare the Proton texture and sound assets

3. Open proton\RTSimpleApp\windows_vc\RTSimpleApp.sln

4. Select DebugGL | x64 or ReleaseGL | x64 configuration, build and run it -- it should work!

NOTE: If you want to build for Win32, you will have to manually copy the 32 bit versions of the following dll files:

• proton\shared\win\lib\zlib1.dll
• proton\shared\win\lib\audiere\bin\audiere.dll

To restore 64 bit libraries, copy these instead:

• proton\shared\win\lib\zlib1.dll
• proton\shared\win\lib\64\zlibwapi.dll
• proton\shared\win\lib\audiere\lib64\audiere.dll

If you have any issues, check out these two pages for more info on the Proton engine:

• https://www.rtsoft.com/wiki/doku.php?id=proton:win_setup
• https://www.rtsoft.com/wiki/doku.php?id=proton:win_setup2

Step 2 - Getting FMOD and building RTSimpleApp in FMOD mode

1. Get the FMOD Studio API from https://www.fmod.com/download#fmodengine (you will need to register an account)

2. Extract the API files into proton\shared\win\fmodstudio\

3. NOTE: You don't need to INSTALL the FMOD Engine, you just need to extract the api\core subfolder, which you can do with 7zip for example

4. Open proton\RTSimpleApp\windows_vc\RTSimpleApp.sln once again

5. Select the DebugFMOD_GL | x64 or ReleaseFMOD_GL | x64 configuration -- it should build just fine

6. Copy the FMOD dll into the output folder proton\RTSimpleApp\bin:

   • proton\shared\win\fmodstudio\api\core\lib\x64\fmod.dll

7. The RTSimpleApp with FMOD enabled should run now!

Step 3 - Building and running RTDink

1. Go into the proton root folder and clone the RTDink repo: git clone https://github.com/SethRobinson/RTDink

2. Run proton\RTDink\media\update_media.bat to prepare the Proton texture and sound assets (optional)

3. Open proton\RTDink\windows_vs2017\iPhoneRTDink.sln

4. Select the Debug GL | x64 or Release GL | x64 configuration and build

5. Copy the required x64 DLLs and curl certificate into proton\RTDink\bin:

   • proton\shared\win\fmodstudio\api\core\lib\x64\fmod.dll
   • proton\shared\win\lib\zlib1.dll
   • proton\shared\win\lib\64\zlibwapi.dll
   • proton\shared\win\lib\x64\libcurl-x64.dll
   • proton\shared\win\lib\x64\libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
   • proton\shared\win\lib\x64\libssl-1_1-x64.dll
   • proton\shared\win\lib\x64\curl-ca-bundle.crt

6. Your Dink Smallwood HD build should be ready to run!
