Fuck You The Game

The title pretty much explains everything. This project was started as a learning experience, to learn game making as well was using the SDL libraries. It also was used to show how complete randomness in video games can be a terrible idea.

SDL needs to be installed in order to work.

For Windows, MinGW was used to compile. Credit goes to Lazy Foo Productions for providing tutorials and instructions on how to set up SDL for multiple platforms.

Installing SDL

On Linux

apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev

or

yum install SDL2-devel SDL2_mixer-devel SDL2_image-devel SDL2_ttf-devel

On Mac

Install Homebrew paste the following in the terminal

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

Then install SDL with

brew install sdl2

On Windows

We used MinGW to compile for windows. First is to install MinGW if you havent already. Follow this guide to help install MinGW, and make sure gcc is installed.

1. Download the SDL Development Libraries

• https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-devel-2.0.5-mingw.tar.gz

2. Open gz archive and there should be a *.tar archive inside.
3. Open the *.tar and there should be a folder inside of that.
4. Open the folder and it'll contain a bunch of subfolders.
5. Copy the contents of the lib subfolder to the MinGW lib folder.

• The MinGW lib folder should be at C:\MinGW\lib.

6. After that, open the include subfolder in the archive and extract the folder named SDL to the MinGW include folder

• Should be at C:\MinGW\include.

7. Now take the SDL.dll from the archive (it should be inside the bin subfolder) and extract it. You're going to put this in the same directory as your exe when you compile it.
8. Download the SDL extra libraries

• https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/release/SDL2_image-devel-2.0.1-VC.zip
• http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/release/SDL2_mixer-devel-2.0.1-VC.zip
• http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/release/SDL_ttf-devel-2.0.1-VC.zip

9. Open up the zip archive and there should be a folder inside.
10. Open the folder and it'll contain 2 subfolders.
11. First, open the include subfolder in the archive and extract the header file inside to the SDL subfolder inside of the MinGW include folder.

• It should be at C:\MinGW\include\SDL.

12. Now find the lib folder from the archive. Take the library file(s) from the archive and put them with the rest of the SDL library files.

• The MinGW lib folder should be at C:\MinGW\lib.

13. Now extract all of the *.dll file(s) from the x86 folder in the archive and put them in the same directory as your exe.
