        # [![Faur](./media/faur.png "Faur")](https://www.alxm.org)

*Faur* is my personal C framework for my [hobby video games](https://www.alxm.org).

Features include software or accelerated 2D graphics, abstractions for inputs and sound, application state management, entity-component-system model, and utilities to help with data, files, math, memory, strings, time, and more.

Faur builds native on Linux and cross-compiles for Web, Windows, and some embedded devices like the GP2X and Gamebuino handhelds. The build system uses GNU Make 4.1 and Python 3.6 or later.

## Install on Debian-based Linux

```sh

$ sudo apt install build-essential git python3 python3-pil

$ sudo apt install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libpng-dev

$ git clone https://github.com/alxm/faur.git

```

## Create New Project

```sh

$ faur/bin/faur-new --name hello

$ cd hello/build/make

$ make run FAUR_PATH=../../../faur

```

## Cross-Compile for Other Platforms

I started Faur by collecting my [GP2X games'](https://www.alxm.org/games/gamepark.html) shared code into a static library. Over time I added support for more platforms:

The default toolchain paths are in `make/global/sdk.mk`, and they can be overridden in a project Makefile or globally in `~/.config/faur/sdk.mk`. To build for different targets, change `include $(FAUR_PATH)/make/default.mk` to use other files from `$(FAUR_PATH)/make`.
