Welcome to so_long, a 2D game written in C which runs both on Mac and Linux!
- A C compiler (such as GCC)
- on Linux, Libraries: libXext, libX11 are necessary
- Skip this step on school Pc, as it's allready installed. To install these dependencies on other Linux Pc, run:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xorg libxext-dev zlib1g-dev libbsd-dev
-
on Mac, compiling flags are: -framework OpenGL -framework AppKit
Makefile will automatically detect OS and set Flags.
The mlx_destroy_display function is only available on Linux, that's why src/event_linux.c has 1 more line than src/event_mac.c . So that Valgrind will not have any memory leak.
- Clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/hu8813/so_long.git
- Navigate to the repository directory:
cd so_long
- Compile the game using the Makefile:
make
This will create an executable file called so_long.
To start the game, simply run the executable with a path to map file as parameter:
make test OR ./so_long maps/map.ber
- Use the W A S D keys to move the player character
- Press the ESC or click (X) to exit
