A CPU-only, from-scratch 3D game written in C, where you dodge blocks
Available for PC, Linux, Switch, Wii U, Wii, Gamecube, and Vita
You accidentally fly your spaceship into a wormhole. To your shock, you find yourself in an alternate dimension filled with blocks. The throttle on your spaceship is broken and keeps increasing the speed. How far can you make it?
Blockamok Remix is a significant update to Blockamok, a game originally made by Carl Riis to "challenge [himself] to create a 3D game without any pre-made 3D engine or utilities".
This version adds many improvements including:
- Customizable gameplay settings
- Controller support + a new control scheme
- New visual settings
- Music and sound effects
- A full menu, title screen, instructions, etc.
- Scoring system polish
- High score saving
- Console ports
- Technical optimizations for weaker hardware

Keep in mind that due to hardware and library differences, this game runs better on some systems than others. If you only play one version, I would recommend the following order:
PC/Linux = Wii > Switch > Gamecube > Vita > Wii U
(Yes, the Wii version runs as well as Switch (or slightly better) and significantly better than Wii U. I don't know why.)
Go ahead! Just make sure you appropriately follow the MIT License.
This game is made using SDL2. Controller and keyboard input are handled through SDL_GameController and keyboard state respectively, and there aren't many system-specific defines. Depending on the system, you probably want to use the Linux Makefile as a base along with the LINUX define (and possibly PC as well).
- Download the latest SDL2 development libraries (VC versions):
- Extract the above ZIP files into a folder called SDL2, which should be located in the Blockamok directory.
- From there, use the Visual Studio project file from the repo with Visual Studio 2022.
Install devkitPro and switch-portlibs (which includes SDL2 for Switch), then run make -f Makefiles/Makefile_switch.
Install devkitPro, Wii U Toolkit, and SDL2 for Wii U, then build with CMake. I've included a make_wii_u.sh file for convenience once you have everything installed.
Install devkitPro and SDL2 for Wii, then run make -f Makefiles/Makefile_wii.
Install devkitPro and SDL2 for Gamecube, then run make -f Makefiles/Makefile_gc.
Install VitaSDK, then build with CMake. I've included a make_vita.sh file for convenience once you have everything installed.
Install the PSPDEV toolchain, which should also come with SDL2, SDL2_ttf, and SDL2_mixer (Linux or WSL is strongly recommended), then run make -f Makefiles/Makefile_psp.
* The PSP version is experimental and only runs in emulator.
