Quadrae

=======



A game with falling 4-tiled shapes. This is my [One Game A Month](http://onegameamonth.com/zenmumbler) entry for February 2013, which I made into a more reasonable game in March.

The goal of the game is to fill horizontal bars with the oddly shaped pieces so that those lines disappear.



As you make progress the speed of the game increases until, inevitably, the blocks will reach the top of the screen and you will lose. Have a nice day.

Building and Running

--------------------



Quadrae currently includes project files for Xcode and Code::Blocks.

Xcode is used to make the Mac versions and Code::Blocks is used for

Windows builds. There should be no direct problems with creating a

Linux build but I have not done so as of yet.



Quadrae uses the [SFML 1.6 framework](http://sfml-dev.org/download.php)

which you will have to download and build separately. Add or change the

references to the frameworks/libraries in your project and compile.



The Xcode project has a Bundle target that will create the full

.app bundle and will also update the app binary to link to the frameworks

contained within the bundle. However, you may need to modify / amend that

build phase as it is all absolute paths and other horribleness.



For non-bundle versions of the app you will have to have the frameworks

accessible (any of your Frameworks folders) and the libraries next to the

app or in a folder in your (DY)LD_LIBRARY_PATH depending on your OS.



Additionaly, the stand-alone binaries need the data folder with the

textures and sound files to be in the same directory. The non-Mac versions

also need the Arial.ttf file included in the data folder.
