Cruthu: Terrain Generation

Cruthú (Gaelic for "creation", pronounced cra-HU), provides a platform world generation. Cruthú is highly modular, allowing modules to be swapped in, swapped out, or re-ordered to achieve desired results.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and or use.

Prerequisites

Currently only tested on Linux 4.18.5, there are somethings that would not transfer crossplatform well, but that can be changed.

• CMake >= 3.9
• GLM
• C++ Compiler
• STDC++17

Arch Linux

pacman -S cmake glm clang

Installing

Clone the project to the where ever, I will assume that PROJECT_ROOT is that place.

First, CMake supports out-of-source builds , so lets use that to advatage and not dirty the repo. So we will make a build directory, I will reference it as BUILD_DIR

cd <PROJECT_ROOT>
mkdir <BUILD_DIR>

After we have a place to build our system, we will move into it and execute CMake to generate the build structure

cd <BUILD_DIR>
cmake ..

NOTE: CMake defaults the install path of make install to /usr/local on UNIX and c:/Program Files/${PROJECT_NAME} on Windows. If you would like to install this else where, add -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX onto the cmake command

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/.local

Now that the build files are prepared, we can proceede to compiling.

make

And then to install it.

make install

NOTE: CMake does not require you to use make, you could use ninja. I have not tested this with other other than make though.

Uninstalling

Since this is not a package from a package manager, it cannot be removed this way. I reccomend keeping the build files around, as they leave a file called install_manifest.txt that can be used to find the isntalled files. Below is an example:

cat install_manifest.txt | xargs rm {}

Creating gif: convert -loop 0 -delay 10 $(ls final.2.* | sort -V | grep -v final.2.png) final.2.png out.gif creating pause in fig: convert out.2.pause.gif \( +clone -set delay 500 \) +swap +delete out.2.pause.gif
