Void

With Void I tried to answer the question: "How someone could implement a game that doesn't depend on a particular game engine?" or a preparation for "Is it possible to swap a game engine on the fly?"

Also, Void is a narrow copy of the second level of Last Voyage that I used as a starting point.

Main goals:

• Make a solid foundation for a future game or a game engine.
• Try new structure of game projects that consists of 3 levels: Dirty, Clean, Pure.

Notes:

• Many ideas are borrowed from Unity and MonoGame.
• It is a concept, future of the project is unknown.
• I've written the same code for Unity, MonoGame and UrhoSharp. This is the fourth time, but with C++, libCinder and Raspberry Pi in mind.
• The project is tested on Mac, iOS and Raspberry Pi 3.

Structure of the project

Project consists of 3 levels: Dirty, Clean, Pure.

Dirty

It is a low-level of a project, which mostly consist of implementation code.

All code in void-app belong here.

Clean

It is a proxy-level between Dirty and Pure.

All classes that are instantiated after VoidGameHut's initialization belong here.

Pure

It is a business-level where all preparations are made and we are ready to implement main part of a game.

All classes that are instantiated after Game's initialization belong here.

How to use

Music

If you try to play the game you may notice that something wrong. The strong point of Last Voyage is the soundtrack and I've no rights to share the song. That is why I added empty file, but you may always buy the soundtrack and convert the song to ogg.

Raspberry Pi 3

# 1. Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/m039/Void.git --recursive

# 2. Build all necessary stuff.
cd Void
./scripts/build_rpi3.sh

# 3. Run the game.
./scripts/run_rpi3.sh

iOS

# 1. Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/m039/Void.git --recursive

# 2. Build Cinder.
cd Void/third-party/Cinder/ && mkdir -p build && cd build && cmake .. && make -j 8

Open projects/xcode-ios/VoidCinder.xcodeproj in XCode and do the rest.

macOS

# 1. Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/m039/Void.git --recursive

# 2. Build Cinder.
cd Void/third-party/Cinder/ && mkdir -p build && cd build && cmake .. && make -j 8

Open root CMakeLists.txt in CLion (or your preferred tool) and do the rest.
