# X-Craft

## Description

Craft your dream 2D gaming experiences with the X-Craft engine.

Semi-inspired by the systems of the GameMaker engine but fully source-code based (C++), the X-Craft engine hopes to be the ideal engine for indie game devs coming from a programming background.

No longer do you need to figure out how to integrate your abstractions in your engine of choice; build them in regular code and integrate it with the engine by default!

## Building a Game

Requirements:

- SDL, SDL_image, SDL_ttf, and SDL_mixer

- gcc

- make

- Probably Linux system

  + May work on other \*nix or even Windows/Mac if set up correctly

  + Only Linux systems are officially supported tho

Nix users can create a valid shell via `nix-shell`

1. Fork project. You're probably not going to touch the things in the `(src|include)/engine/` folders, but you will mess with everything else

2. Add your images and audio to the proper folders

3. Load your images and audio into the proper global hashmaps a la examples in `main.cpp`

4. Create your custom GameObjects in the `(src|include)/gameobjs/` folders to define behavior for your game (see `Player.h/cpp` and `Brick.h/cpp` for examples)

   - This is also where you define sprites for animation frames

5. Create rooms to hold instances of GameObjects in the `(src|include)/rooms/` folders (see `Room0.h/cpp` for examples)

6. Replace `x-craft` with the name of your game in the `Makefile` and in `src/engine/globals.cpp`

7. Run `make` to build your binary

Check out the `x-snake` branch for an example of how to make a game in the engine.
