An open-source, experimental re-implementation of the classic Graal Online client using modern C++ and raylib.

OpenGraal aims to load legacy assets (levels, tiles, animations, sounds) and provide a lightweight playground for rendering maps, entities, and player animations in a standalone desktop app.

> This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Graal Online or its owners. All trademarks and assets belong to their respective owners.

## Features

- Cross-platform C++20 project using CMake + raylib

- Basic game loop, rendering, and input handling

- Level/tileset loading (`.graal` and `.nw` level files)

- Texture and sound resource management with simple caching

- Animation system with support for `.gani` files

- Simple entity/actor system (player, NPCs, signs)

- Example assets and a starter level for local testing

## Project status

- Early-stage and under development

- APIs and file/folder layout may change

## Requirements

- C++20-capable compiler (Clang, GCC, or MSVC)

- CMake 3.16+

- raylib (installed via your preferred package manager or from source)

Suggested install methods for raylib:

- macOS: `brew install raylib`

- Ubuntu/Debian: `sudo apt-get install libraylib-dev`

- Windows (vcpkg):

    - `vcpkg install raylib:x64-windows`

    - Configure CMake with `-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake`
