# OpenStrike

F/OSS Desert Strike and Jungle Strike reimplementation.

## Status

![Animation](https://github.com/AMDmi3/openstrike/blob/master/animation.gif)

The project is currently on the early stages of development, and
is not yet playable. What it can offer right now:

* An utility to unpack Desert/Jungle Strike .DAT files
* Game graphics viewer
* Viewer for complete game levels
* A game skeleton which currently demonstrates an ability to load
and render some sprites and animations

## Building

Dependencies:

* cmake
* SDL2

The project also uses libSDL2pp, C++11 bindings library for SDL2.
It's included into git repository as a submodule, so if you've
obtained source through git, don't forget to run ```git submodule
init && git submodule update```.

To build the project, run:

```
cmake . && make
```

## Running

To run any of binaries produced by the project, you need original
Desert/Jungle Strike .DAT files (further referred as ```file.DAT```)

### Unpacker

To view all entries in .DAT file:
```
% util/unpacker/unpacker -l file.DAT
```

To extract them into current directory:
```
% util/unpacker/unpacker -x file.DAT
```

### Graphics viewer

```
util/gfxviewer/gfxviewer file.DAT
```

Use arrow keys or Page Up/Page Down to navigate through graphics
and Q or Escape to close the viewer.

### Map viewer

```
util/mapviewer/mapviewer file.DAT
```

Use arrow keys to scroll the map, +/- to zoom and Q or Escape to
close the viewer.

### Game

```
src/openstrike file.DAT
```

Use arrow keys to control the chopper, Z/X/C to fire. That's all
it actually does for now.
