## ABOUT ##

This is the branch of Lifish that contains the code for [BOOM Remake](https://silverweed.github.io/boom), a faithful remake of the original BOOM game.

Lifish was a work-in-progress arcade game inspired by BOOM, but that project is currently in indefinite hiatus. The `boom` branch is the one that's still being occasionally updated, mostly for bugfixing, as BOOM Remake is already complete.

Lifish (and by extension, BOOM Remake) has a level editor available as a separate program, currently working only on Linux and MacOS: [LifishEdit](https://codeberg.org/silverweed/lifish-edit). A new level editor is in the making, working on Linux and Windows: [BOOMEdit: Remake](https://codeberg.org/silverweed/boom-edit-remake).

### Supported platforms ###

BOOM Remake is known to work on the following platforms:

* Windows 64 bit (>= 7)

* Linux x86_64 and aarch64 (with non-ancient versions of `libc` and `libstdc++`)

* macOS Intel (>= 10.15) and Apple Silicon (>= 11)

### Binaries ###

The latest "official" binaries are available [here](https://silverweed.github.io/boom/). The latest version in this repo may contain additional features that I haven't had time to polish and package yet in the release.

## Building ##

### DEPENDENCIES ###

* [SFML](https://github.com/SFML/SFML) >= 2.5

* [nlohmann/json](https://github.com/nlohmann/json) (included in the source)

#### Linux, OS X, BSD, etc ####

The game can be compiled on *nix (tested on Linux, OSX and FreeBSD) via `cmake . && make`

(you need to have SFML >=2.5 installed).

#### Windows ####

On Windows you can use cmake + Visual Studio.

### Command line parameters ###

If launched from the command line, `lifish` accepts a bunch of parameters (see `lifish -h` for details).

It also accepts an optional argument which is the path of the level JSON to use (default: `lifish.json`).

### Note about assets ###

The original BOOM assets belong to Factor Software. I don't hold any intellectual property upon them.
