cpctelera-samples-Xcode

Open, edit, build & run CPCtelera samples from the comfort of Xcode

What is this CPCtelera about?

CPCtelera is a library & toolchain to create games for the Amstrad family of computers. CPCtelera tries to be plattform-agnostic and currently runs on Windows, Linux & OS X. You can use whatever code editor that suits you. In my case, as Mac developer, this editor is Xcode

Installing

Just clone this repo in the folder that contains the CPCtelera folder, so that CPCtelera & this repo are siblings. You must end with a folder structure like this one:

MyFolderForAmstradDevelopment
|
|--- cpctelera
|--- cpctelera_samples_xcode

Using

Open cpctelera_samples.xcodeproj & hit Cmd + B (build). To clean all targets, do a clean in Xcode (Cmd + K).

You can build all examples (select cpctelera_samples Scheme) or easy, medium & advanced examples (click the Schemes menu, then select the desired Scheme)

Using different Schemes in Xcode allows you to build (Cmd + B), clean (Shift + Cmd + K) or run (Cmd + R) every group of samples.

Running does nothing right now, but you can open the Arnold Emulator if you whish

Xcode & CPCTelera projects

CPCTelera projects are regular C projects that use a Makefile to hold all config. If you want to use Xcode as your IDE for any CPCTelera project, just:

• create a new Project in Xcode, select OS X > Command Line Tool. That's the simplest project you can have.
• drag the folder containing your project inside Xcode. It will show a window telling you it's going to use "external build system". Change /usr/bin/make for make
