* ascii-paint

ascii-paint is a clone of the original ascii-paint by and . The project was

abandoned in 2011 and was forked by Ben Porter (see the [[https://bitbucket.org/bpio/ascii-paint/overview][bitbucket page]]), which

was then subsequently abandoned in 2013.

I decided to clone the original repository because Google Code is shutting

down, and because the original code doesn't compile or link with the latest

version of libtcod.

* building

The build process is linked to the build process of "libtcod", which you can

also find in my repositories list. Both installations are described here.

   * Clone the libtcod repository, switch to the tcod directory and build tcod 

     via =mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make=. For this to work you 

     might have to install some dependencies, namely: sdl-dev, sdl-image-dev 

     and opengl-dev. Appropriate packages are available for all systems.

   * Clone the ascii-paint repository, switch to its directory and initialize

     cmake via =mkdir build && cd build && cmake -D tcod_DIR=$x/build ..= where you

     substitute =$x= by the directory in which you checked out libtcod.

   * Build ascii-paint via =make= in der =build/= directory.

   * You can now start ascii-paint from the root project directory (it needs

     the =ascii-paint.cfg= file in its working directory).

* status

I got the executable to compile with libtcod again. Mouse and keyboard input

seems to work. There are some random crashes because of out of bounds checking,

though.
