Blok is a simple 3D block-based game (similar to Minecraft) that is meant to be extensible, performant, and fun to play!
I wrote the entire project from scratch, only using a handful of I/O & platform-abstracting layers. The math, shaders, algorithms, gameplay, audio, video, textures, etc I made myself (except for some 3D meshes I use to test the rendering engine, but those aren't included in the final product anyway)
TODO: I plan to add a wiki with actual gameplay information, once it gets to that state
See the source code in the Blok/ folder if you want to learn more about the algorithms!
For textures/objects/effects/fonts see the assets/ folder
Blokrequires the programs: cmake (>=3.1), make,g++/c++`
Blok requires the libraries: glfw3*, assimp*, portaudio*, freetype*, and OpenGL. ("*" indicates that the dependency can be built locally & statically). So, as long as you have OpenGL headers
sudo apt install org-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libvorbis-dev libjack-dev libasound2-dev
First, run ./build_libs.sh this will build glfw3, assimp, portaudio, freetype, and their dependencies as static libraries
Then, cd build, and run cmake .. ensure there were no errors
If successful, run make -j8 to create the executable Blok/Blok. To test it out run:
./Blok/Blok, and the game should start up!
If you can't get a video output, run ./Blok/Blok -h for help/usage/info etc
For now, try following the above instructions for Linux/Unix. If you have any problems, email me: brown.cade@gmail.com , as I don't have MacOS machine I can test on, so help for building the program would be much appreciated!
TODO: I have a dual boot system, and I almost got it working, except I messed up setting up linking flags for the Windows compiler. It should be possible to build for windows, but I need to expirement and try it more
