README
## TigerSpades
* Compatible client of *Ace of Spades* (classic voxlap).
* Runs on very old systems back to OpenGL 1.1 (OpenGL ES support too).
* Shares similar if not even better performance to voxlap.
#### Why should I use this instead of ...?
* Free of any Jagex code, they can’t shut it down.
* Open for future expansion.
* Easy to use.
* A lot of hidden bugs.
## Differences in this fork
* Support of big-endian systems (e.g. PowerPC).
* Unicode & UTF-8.
* Customizable key bindings.
* Cleaned up user interface.
* Makefiles instead of CMake (now obsolete version of CMake takes ≈2 hours to build on G4 CPU but still cannot be used to build BetterSpades).

You will need to compile the following by yourself, or get hold of precompiled binaries:
* GLFW3 or SDL.
* OpenAL.
#### Windows
Use MinGW-w64 from MSYS2:
```bash
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-glfw mingw-w64-x86_64-openal unzip
$ make TOOLKIT=GLFW game
```
If everything went well, the client should be in the `dist/` subfolder.
#### Linux
You can build each library yourself, or install them with your distro’s package manager. For example, on Ubuntu 24.04:
```
sudo apt install libgl-dev libopenal-dev libglfw3-dev
```
Start the client e.g. with the following inside the `dist/` directory:
```
./betterspades
```
Or connect directly to localhost:
```
./betterspades -aos://16777343:32887
```
On the buggy drivers (like “mesa” under PowerPC Macs) it may be neccessary to `export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=1.5` before starting the game to avoid (weird) graphics glitches. Also try build with `EXTRAFLAGS="-DUSE_SOUND -DUSE_GL_FLOAT"` if fonts are not rendering.
#### macOS
The development headers for OpenAL and OpenGL don’t have to be installed since they come with macOS by default.
