Rockbot 1 2

Max Glenister edited this page Jun 12, 2019 · 1 revision

An open-source, SDL based, game engine to replicate old style NES games, mostly Megaman ones, and an editor made with Qt, for custom graphics, weapons, bosses, enemies and level creation.

Install

The build for Rockbot requires a bit of fiddling, and the qmake build tool.

The dependencies listed are taken from the package control information found here on the source repo -- If they don't work for you, you might need to install the -dev variants of each package, e.g. libsdl-image1.2-dev

# Make sure we have the Games directory
mkdir -p /home/chip/Games
cd /home/chip/Games

# Dependencies
sudo apt install libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libsdl1.2debian libqtcore4 libqtgui4 qt4-qmake

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/protoman/rockbot
cd rockbot

# Edit the qmake file
sed -i '8d' ./Rockbot.pro
sed -i '17d' ./Rockbot.pro
sed -i '13 s/^.//' ./Rockbot.pro

# Build
qmake
make

# Copy the built program to the build directory
cp rockbot build
cd build

After this is all done you should now have a rockbot available at /home/chip/Games/rockbot/build/rockbot
