SwannSong Adventure

A text-adventure game with some humor. Please note that this game is still in a pre-alpha stage.

This first started as an hobby project to improve my C++ skills but feel free to explore the source.

Note: do not try to load a save from a previous pre-alpha version (< 1.0) as it may cause problems. However, you can safely overwrite it.

Building the game

Building prerequisites

• a C++17-compatible version of GCC/MinGW
• jansson
• ncursesw

Please note that while this program may be compiled with another toolchain, we cannot guarantee that it will work as intended.

Compiling

Unix-like

If the source code was obtained from an archive, you can simply execute the following commands:

./configure
make
make install

If not, you can use autotools with autoconf-archive to generate the configure script yourself.

Windows

TO-DO

Usage

Note : On Windows, the program must be run from the executable directory. On Unix-like, if the program is not installed, it must be run in the build directory using the -local argument.

Command-line arguments

• --local: use the game data from the current directory (this is mainly useful for running the program in its build directory without installing it)
• --debug: enable debug features such as warning logs (mainly for developers).
• --reset: remove the game user configuration as if it was a fresh install.

Roadmap

• Refactor some parts of the source code
• Develop a storyline
