Gameplay

• Runs on Linux and Web (PC and Mobile)
• Avoid hitting falling spikes and the cave walls
• The cave gets harder to move around in as you progress
• 3 difficulty levels

Controls

There are two control modes: keyboard mode and touch mode. Touch mode also works with the mouse, but keyboard is recommended on PC. You can change the control mode in Options.

• Use WASD or arrow keys to move around. Going below the map will kill you.
• In touch mode, tapping on the screen will move you to that position. In a way, this is easier than keyboard controls, so the game is faster to make up for that.
• If the level is impossible (the cave is steeper than the player movement speed, shouldn't happen in most cases), you can press R to generate a new level. This will reset your score and lives.
• Press ESC to go to the main menu.
• Press B in game to open the debug screen. In touch mode, there is a link in Options.
• Press G to quickly toggle low/high graphics.
• Whatever you do, don't press T when in game.

Building

Windows

1. Download w64devkit:

• w64devkit-x.x.x.zip for 64-bit
• w64devkit-i686-x.x.x.zip for 32-bit

2. Extract w64devkit and run w64devkit.exe.
3. Inside w64devkit, go to the directory where you cloned cavescroller.
4. Run ./setup.sh to build raylib.
5. Run ./build.sh to compile the game.

Cross compiling for Windows

1. Install mingw-w64 using your package manager. Make sure x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc is available from your command line.
2. Run TARGET=Windows_NT ./setup.sh to build raylib.
3. Run TARGET=Windows_NT ./build.sh to compile the game.

Linux

1. Run ./setup.sh to build raylib.
2. Run ./build.sh to compile the game.

Web

Web building has only been tested on Linux. It should work on Windows without any major modifications.

1. If you're on Windows, follow the first 3 steps of the Windows building guide.
2. Run TARGET=Web ./setup.sh to build raylib.
3. Run TARGET=Web ./build.sh -r to compile and run the game. Opening the index.html won't work, a web server is needed and -r launches one.

Android

1. Install Java if you haven't already. Make sure JAVA in your android/config.sh points to the Java installation. If you're on Linux and installed Java through the package manager, you don't need to change the config.sh.
2. Run TARGET=Android ./setup.sh to install the SDK/NDK and build raylib. If you already have an SDK/NDK installation, you can set the paths to them in android/config.sh.
3. Run TARGET=Android ./build.sh to compile the game.
4. If you have a device with USB debugging enabled, it will try to install the APK on it. You can also transfer cavescroller.apk to the device and install it from a file manager.
