NOTE: the 'cgame' executable looks for data in './data' so make sure you run it with the repository root as working directory
test/platformer/main.lua has code for a simple platform game. Shows how to make systems in Lua.
test/keyboard_controlled.{c,h} shows a simple system implemented in C. It allows control of the transform of an object through the arrow keys, M/N keys to rotate and I/K keys to scale. This works even when attached to the camera, in which case I/K can be used to zoom in and out (this is an effect of how transform scaling affects the camera).
CMake should make it easy to set up. GLFW, GLEW, stb_image, LuaJIT, chipmunk, Gorilla Audio are dependencies and are included in ext/. From the repository root,
cmake -E make_directory build
cmake -E chdir build cmake ..
cmake --build build
The above instructions have been tested under OSX with clang+make, and less recently on Linux with gcc+make and Windows with Visual Studio 2013.
After building just run the 'cgame' executable. This is put in the build directory by clang+make, and under build/Debug or build/Release by Visual Studio 2013. Make sure your working directory is the root of the project (cgame looks for core data in './data'). It takes a startup script as the first argument. So after running the commands in the previous section, you could do,
./build/cgame test/platformer/main.lua
There are some other tests in test/. Try test/physics.lua! You could also just fire up cgame with no startup script and write stuff in usr/scratch.lua to code live! It'll run the contents of that file whenever it is modified.
