Tank battle

A tank game allow users write their own tank bots using C++ or Cλ language then run them as players in a battle.

Purpose

This is not just a game project, I've created it with two main objectives.

• Demonstrate Cλ language (my created language) in a real project.
• Challenge myself to build a game engine and use it in a real project beforing explore the game industry.

Explain

In above picture, the blue tank is controlled by S06.SmartMoving.c955 script file. The script file will be compiled by the app when user select it. The app then continous call 'update' function in the script each frame when the game run. The 'update' function will totally control the tank in the game.

Dependencies.

• Cinder - Graphics library.
• ImGui - UI library.
• FFscript - Cλ library.

Compile.

The project has been updated to new version of Cinder (v0.9.1) and ImGui (v1.65). The compiling progress is quite complex. So, I write some script to download externals, patch to fix compile error and compile the external dependencies. Following these simple steps to compile the project.

1. Download the project from github.
   git clone --recursive https://github.com/VincentPT/tank-battle.git

2. Download external projects.
   run following command in project root folder.

   cd tank-battle/src/external
   download-externals
   

3. Compile extenal projects.
   run following command in 'external' folder above.

   build-externals.bat [Configuration] [Platform]
   

   • Configuration should be Debug or Release. Default is Release.
   • Platform should be 'x64' or 'x86'. Default is x64.
   • Note: If you want to work with multi-configurations, you must build the external project for all desired configurations before going to step 4.

4. Compile the project.
   run following commands.

   cd tank-battle/build
   configure [Platform]
   install.bat [Configuration]
   

   • Configuration should be Debug or Release. Default is Release.
   • Platform should be 'x64' or 'x86'. Default is x64.
     After build success, the binrary package will be put in folder ./tank-battle/build/bin
