# FreeFT [](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0)
## Introduction
FreeFT is an open-source, real-time, isometric action game engine
inspired by Fallout Tactics, a game from 2001 created by an Australian company,
Micro Forte.
Compiled binaries can be downloaded from SourceForge
[https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeft](https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeft/files)
## Building
To compile a linux environment with Clang 8.0 is recommended (G++ 9.0 or newer can also be used).
Following libraries/tools are required:
* libfwk (included as submodule):
[https://github.com/nadult/libfwk](https://github.com/nadult/libfwk)
This library also depends on few other libs (SDL2, libogg, libvorbis, freetype2, libpng).
* zlib, OpenAL, mpg123, libzip, xxd, gzip:
These should be available in your distro's package repositories.
To build for windows, you have to cross-compile with MinGW.
The easiest way is with MXE ([http://mxe.cc](http://mxe.cc)) with following flags:
export MXE_TARGETS=x86_64-w64-mingw32.static.posix
export MXE_PLUGIN_DIRS=plugins/gcc9
## Running
To run this program, resources from original Fallout Tactics are required.
You can buy it on GOG or Steam.
FT has to be installed and resources converted with a convert program.
After instaling FT just run convert.exe. It might ask you to provide a
path to original Fallout Tactics. The conversion shouldn't take more than
a few minutes.
To convert resources under linux, you can use this command:
./convert -p "/home/user\_name/.wine/drive\_c/tactics/" all
## Basic controls in the game
* LMB on tile: move (shift: walk)
* LMB on entity: interact
* RMB: attack (shift: secondary attack)
* Middle mouse dragging: change view
* keypad + / -: change stance
* T key: teleport to cursor
Inventory (bottom left corner):
* up / down: select item
* up / down + CTRL: select item in container
* left / right: move item to / from container
* E key: equip / unequip selected item
