# GOAL

- Learn GO and implement "something fun"

- "something fun" - interpret the old game another world and create a web version (WASM)!

- Logo font is "Road Rage"

# ARCHITECTURE

- Split Backend (parsing, interpreting) and Frontend (rendering audio & video).

- Backend should build as lib so it can be reusable in a web app (WASM target) or SDL2 app

- Local assets are here for dev purpose only - they will go away. thread them as they will be downloaded

## golang elements to check

- iota

- Channels

- interface

- Method (bound functions?)

# Getting started

- Install make (autotools on linux, xcode on OSX)

- Install latest go version from https://golang.org/dl/

- Check out repo

- Run `./scripts/osx-install.sh` to install/download dependencies or make sure SDL2 (sdl2, sdl2_gfx, sdl2_image, sdl2_mixer, sdl_net) and pkg-config are installed correctly

- Run `make` to build, if it's green you're good

- Use `make help` for more
