- Raytraced 3D rendering, similar to old games like Wolfenstein (raytracing on a 2D grid).
- Level scripts and script components, using ChaiScript.
- WebAssembly support (can run in browser).
How to build
WINDOWS
- Open CMake GUI (can download from here: https://cmake.org/download/)
- In "Where is the srouce code", browse to the repository folder containing CMakeLists.txt
- In "Where to build the binaries", chose any folder (i.e. subfolder "/build")
- Make sure the directory can be written to (to prevent MSB3073 error)
- Configure
- Build
- Open Visual Studio project
- Build and run the "Game" project (IN RELEASE CONFIGURATION - Debug will be very slow!)
LINUX
- Open the terminal and change directory ("cd" command) to the root folder of the repository.
- Run aptget.sh (or manually do apt-get on the dependencies). Note: if you get "permission denied", execute "chmod +x aptget.sh" in the terminal first.
- Run CMake:
cmake . - Build the "Game" project (or make your own project based on that):
make Game - Go to "projects/samples" and copy the "resources" folder of the samle you want to use into the same folder as the build executable.
- Run the executable:
./Game
WEB ASSEMBLY
- Make sure you have Emscripten installed (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly/C_to_wasm)
- Also make sure you have newest version of Python 2.x installed
- Run emcc_generate.py
- Run emcc_build.bat
- Find your webpage in the "webbuild" sub folder
