7days

(1) Requirements

7days requires

• SFML >=2.5.0 for everything,
• python3 for tilemap packing, with numpy and Pillow (PIL).

Debian/Ubuntu systems

chmod +x deps-ubuntu.sh
./deps-ubuntu.sh

Other systems

For now, manually.

(2) Building

Tile maps

Tile maps are built with the very primitive script pack.py, which takes a single argument <tilemap>.

pack.py will open run/tiles/<tilemap>.json, which describes the tilemap to be constructed. The script expects a size key (integer) with the tile size, and a key tiles with an array of objects containing a name key (string). Each name value points to a .png tile in run/tiles/<tilemap>/<name>.png.

pack.py packs all the tiles described, for now horizontally. At runtime, tiles are identified by the horizontal (L-to-R) order in which they appear.

Unix systems

chmod +x configure
SFML_DIR=/blah/sfml ./configure
make

Other systems

For now, not considered.

(3) Running

The run folder contains all runtime information. For now, the game assumes an executing path 1-level deep into the project root (e.g. it fetches ../run/config.json).
