Goober Alert

A fork of PeterAlert which allows multiple Goober Alerts to be created from their respective PNG File in the Assets Folder.

Simple Usage

1. Clone the Github Repo to somewhere
2. Add/Replace PNGs in the Assets Folder
3. Run the build.ps1 PowerShell Script

Advanced Usage

1. Clone the Github Repo to somewhere
2. Add/Replace Images / Audio in the Assets Folder
3. Run the manual_build.ps1 PowerShell Script

Note on build.ps1

build.ps1 is now demoted to a quick generation of a multitude of Goober Alerts.

For a more advanced, customized and recommended approach use manual_build.ps1

The produced executables Name generated from build.ps1 depend on the Name of the PNG File in the Assets Folder, eg having a Lu The Shiny Thing.png File in the Assets Folder, will produce a "Lu The Shiny Thing Alert"

Building Infos for manual_build.ps1

• Git and the .Net 8 SDK are required to Build the project
• The Project Namespace, Window Title, and Assembly File Name is named according to $Name
  • This is done by a general replace of "Peter Alert" to $Name
• The OK Button is named according to $ButtonName
  • This is done by a general replace of "OK" to $Name
• The App Icon is defined accoridng to $AppIcon
  • This is done by a general replace of Icon='/Assets/Peter.png' to Icon='$($AppIcon)'
• The App Image is defined according to $AppImage
  • This is done by a general replace of avares://$($Name)/Assets/Peter.png to avares://$($Name)$($AppImage)
  • If a GIF was provided then Source= is replaced by anim:ImageBehavior.AnimatedSource=
• The Music Location is defined according to $Music
  • This is done by a general replace of the following:
    • The Namespace is replaced from avares://Peter Alert/ to avares://$($Name)/
    • The Audio Location is replaced from /Assets/audio.mp3 to $Music
    • The Code comment //Replace_with_audio is replaced by PlayAudio(); to enable the Audio Function
• Audio on Linux requires the sfml and csfml System packages to be installed
  • I tried to include them as a NuGet package but this only solves the Library Issue on Windows, if you found a fix for this on Linux feel free to contribute
    • The specific library that it can't find on Linux is csfml-audio

Building Infos for build.ps1

• Git and the .Net 8 SDK are required to Build the project
• The use of the build.ps1 Script is to automatically replace each instance of the Word Peter with the File name of the PNG File, this can be rewritten in another Language eg Bash or done manually as the Word Peter only appears inside of MainWindow.axaml and GooberAlert.csproj
  • After those words were replaced and dotnet published the executable, a git reset --hard is done to revert the renaming and move onto the next PNG File
• Audio on Linux requires the sfml and csfml System packages to be installed
