About:

<<<<<<< HEAD A rebuild of the game Asteroids. Completed in 2016, all current updates are individual "improvements" for the sake of improvements. (also code stuff).

Plans:

• Convert from freeglut to Vulkan
• drop "games" build engine only
• build demos to show cappablities ======= A rebuild of the game Asteroids. Originally built as a group project for Computer Graphics @ Mercer University, it is now a Game Platform with Mod(plugin) Support with additional cool features. Build any mode you want and play though the Game engine for an easy and quick way to learn C++ and game development.

How to Build

Windows

1. install WSL and your choice of distro from the Windows 10 Store
2. in your choice of WSL distro, install make, freeglut3-dev, git, a window manager and g++
3. set up display export, and install an windows x-server (Recomends vcxsrv)
4. clone the repository in a directory you can find.
5. in the project directory (the one with the makefile) run make.
6. type ./bin/Asteroids

Linux

1. same as Windows except forgo 1. and 3.

Your Own Libraries/Game Modes

1. write a new library or game mode
2. add all your dependencies and source files to the make file as rules
3. add your target titled "(yourmode).mode"
4. build your mode with make "(yourmode).mode"
5. add your "(yourmode).mode" to the "libraries.txt" file
6. launch the game, and trouble shoot any errors loading your mode.
7. rage when it segfaults, and you don't know why.

Credits:

• Jonathan Oakes - Me, I did the asteroid class, odds and ends, and broke it plenty of times.
• Braeden Brettin - The guy that explained my ideas better then I could. Also fixed what I broke
• Ted Dorfeuille - The guy that did something think collisions
• Chris Le - Maybe this guy did collisions and Ted did tesselations?
• Emily Herron - She did stuff. like the scoreboard and things like that. probably more odds and ends.

Dependencies:

• FreeGlut3 - Yes I know this is old and needs improvements.
• g++ - For compiling
• Linux or Windows 10 w/ WSL - Will not run on windows without WSL.
