| # platform-test | ||||
|  | ||||
| ===== | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Just a platform prototype that I made to get my hands dirty with SDL2 for the first time. | ||||
| This is my first semi-big or not-so-small project, made to get my hands dirty with SDL2, have fun and experiment how feels to make an actual game, with its structure and stuff. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| All that I have implemented is a smooth motion with keyboard input and "physics" of jumping and colliding with other objects. In this project I wanted to be as responsible as possible with classes and functions, but it's my first multifile project so it's all messy I guess. | ||||
| So far I have implemented a regular platformer, with its player, player physics, powerups, walls/blocks, and a menu system. It's all messy and clunky but hey, it's my first time and I'm doing what I can so have patience with it if you watch some huge stupid mistake thingy. And of course if you see one of those, tell me, correct it and make a pull request or put an issue! | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ## Controls | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - **W S D** To move around | ||||
| **In the menu:** | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - **UP** and **DOWN** to navigate | ||||
| - **SPACE** to accept | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| **PD:** the first button is to play, the third one quits the game and the second one... does nothing. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| **In-game:** | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - **ARROWS** To move around | ||||
| - **SPACE** To jump | ||||
| - **LSHIFT** To run | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ## Compiling | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| If you want to compile it make sure that you have SDL2 installed and run make and it will compile. I don't know how to compile programs in Linux with cross-compatibility with external libraries so it works fine in Linux but in Windows it's a little harder to do. | ||||
| The Makefile it's very outdated and SDL2's header files path differs from windows so I would recommend to compile it on Windows. If you want to compile it in Linux you have to change the include path from <SDL.h> and <SDL_image.h> to <SDL2/SDL.h> and <SDL2/SDL_Image.h>. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| This project uses the SDL2 and SDL2_Image libraries. You can find those here: https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| After making sure that you have SDL2 and SDL_Image installed use your favorite IDE or compiler to compile it. Don't forget to include the C++11 (-std=c++11), SDL2 (-lSDL2main and -lSDL2) and SDL2_Image (-lSDL2_Image) flags. I found out that if you're using MinGW to compile it you have to add its flag (-lmingw32) or it will throw weird errors. | ||||
