# Junkbot

![Junkbot](https://i.imgur.com/DmFxRYR.png)

An attempt at an open-source version of the original Junkbot and Junkbot Undercover games by Lego on their website circa 2006-2007 or so. This is a C# "port" of the games that were powered by Adobe/Macromedia Shockwave which is now an obsolete format.

## The Project

This project is a clean-room implementation of Junkbot and Junkbot Undercover done for a bit of fun. It's powered by a custom engine, [rzxe](https://github.com/rozniak/rzxe), that I'm writing alongside the game - again as a bit of fun and learning as a hobby.

Some decent progress has been made, including a good chunk of engine work - I am now mainly focusing on the gameplay/logic in Junkbot rather than 90% engine code. Whilst there isn't much 'game' right now... level loading is functional and as you can see, Junkbot is walking around pretty well:

I track everything going on through GitHub issues - gameplay features that need work, UI bits and bobs, bugs... so probably the best way to keep an eye on progress is the issues page and commit history. :grinning:

As mentioned, all code in this repo is original but the aim is to get as close to the Shockwave versions as possible.

## Contributing

I am open to contributions, feel free to interact on the issues pages and I should be able to reply within a decent timeframe. Where possible I have marked some things with the `good-first-issue` tag, I am happy to provide any advice to begin contributing if needed.

You may also notice a `comms` tag - if you would like to get involved but don't know where to begin, opening an issue to ask questions is welcome too.

## Building / Installation

There is no 'installer' at the moment - [an AppVeyor Windows build is available here](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/RoryFewell/junkbot/build/artifacts).

As for build - it should be a straight forward build the same as any .NET project. Clone this repo with `git clone --recurse-submodules` (or use `git submodule update --init --recursive` if you already cloned), open the Solution (`src/Junkbot.sln`) and press `F5` to build.

If you have any trouble building, please open an issue!
