The best game that ever existed!

Zordzman-plus-plus (Zordzman++) will be a remake of the original Zordzman created by JavaCakess in, well, Java. This remake shall be in C++, and will be developed by a team rather than one person.

Dependencies

It mainly uses SDL and other SDL libraries.

Note: SDLNet is no longer being used, and our project will be using system sockets instead. (For Windows, WinSock may be used.)

It uses json11 for parsing JSON, cppformat for formatting, and hash-library for hashing and base64 for base64 encoding & decoding.

All of the above libraries are located in common/extlib/<libname>/.

Our own written libs are in common/<libname>.

SDL: https://libsdl.org/download-2.0.php (Required: 2.0.0 or greater)

SDL_Image: https://libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/ (Required: 2.0.0 or greater)

SDL_Mixer: http://libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/ (Required: 2.0.0 or greater)

SDL_TTF: http://libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/ (Required: 2.0.0 or greater)

Building

There are build instructions for Mac and Linux below.

Mac OS X

Requires XCode, at least 4.2. Downloadable from the App Store. Requires CMake, at least 3.0.0.

Download SDL2 and the additional SDL2 libraries (image, mixer etc.).

Open SDL2.dmg and additional SDL2 library images. Move SDL2.framework into /Library/Frameworks, along with the additional .framework files found in the other images. Inside the SDL_x (e.g. SDL_image) framework directories, move the C header file found in Headers/ into a new directory called "SDL2" (inside the "Headers" directory).

Navigate to where XCode.app is, and enter the Package Contents (often accessed by right clicking on XCode.app in Finder, and selecting "Show Package Contents".) Then navigate to Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.x.sdk/Developer/System/Library/Frameworks and copy OpenGL.framework into /Library/Frameworks.

Create a new CMake variable (easily done using the CMake GUI and clicking the "Add Entry" button) called "OSX", type boolean and set it to true. When building the project, this will make sure CMake finds the SDL framework directories and header files. This will also build with compile options -stdlib=libc++ and -std=c++11. If you do not want these compile options you can manually set them yourself.

Then navigate back to the zordzman-plus-plus folder, and proceed to do the CMake instructions for Linux.

Linux

Requires CMake, at least 3.0.0.

If you don't know how to install SDL on Linux, check out this tutorial: LazyFoo

Use CMake to build. If you don't know how to use CMake, do the following:

Assuming you are in the zordzman-plus-plus directory, do these steps:

mkdir ../build-zordzman-plus-plus
cd ../build-zordzman-plus-plus
cmake ../zordzman-plus-plus
make

Windows

We have currently not yet figured out a suitable way to build this project on Windows. You can try to build and show us any errors you think are to do with the source code.

Contributing

Anyone is welcome to contribute! Just make sure to read CONTRIBUTING.md before doing so!

We'll try our best to make collaborating on Zordzman with any OS a good experience!
