## What's This?
Taylor is a game engine I've built using [mruby](https://mruby.org/) and
[raylib](https://www.raylib.com/). I'm trying to build a very simple way for
people to get into game development. This is trying to replicate the simplicity
of [QBasic](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/QBasic) but with a more of a modern approach.
## Getting Started
Check out my tutorial over on the [official Taylor
website](https://www.taylormadetech.dev/documentation/tutorials/getting_started/).
## Examples
If you'd like to see some examples, check them out on the [online playground!](https://www.taylormadetech.dev/playground/)
## Compile Yourself!
> [!NOTE]
> Currently there are no instructions for Windows and OSX.
### Linux
1. Install the build dependencies:
Fedora
```console
$ sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"; sudo dnf install ruby
```
Ubuntu/Debian
```console
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential ruby
```
3. You should now be able to just run `rake` and wait a few seconds. Once the compilation finalises, the
binary will be located on `dist/linux/debug/taylor`.
4. **Optional**: if you want the nice command line interface, you'll need to run this script:
```console
$ ./dist/linux/debug/taylor ./cli-tool/cli.rb
```
Additionally, You may want to add the Taylor executable to your PATH so you can call it from anywhere. You can
use the following shell script as a base, it'll also run the CLI for you:
```shell
#!/usr/bin/env bash
TAYLOR_PATH=/home/sean/code/taylor/ # Change to where you cloned the repo
"$TAYLOR_PATH/dist/linux/debug/taylor" "$TAYLOR_PATH/cli-tool/cli.rb" "$@"
```
Save it as `taylor` and make it executable (`chmod +x taylor`), then add this on the end of your `.bashrc`:
```bash
export PATH="$HOME/code/taylor:$PATH" # Change the path to where you saved the shell script
```
## Docker
To build all the Docker images you can run the following command:
```
$ bundle exec rake docker:build:all
```
If you also want to compile the mruby and raylib dependencies yourself there are
Docker images for that too, just run:
```
$ bundle exec rake docker:build:{mruby,raylib}
```
