LowLevelGame

ℹ️ About

An opportunity to do more with C++ by creating a game with SDL2. gotta love that low level code

(I have not yet experienced the p̷̜͈̞̻̪͑̀̓͋͝ã̸͓̯̗̲̮͒i̸̥̣̮̠̔̓̀̓͗ṅ̷͙̗̮̹ of writing a physics engine from scratch)

💻 Dev Environment

Note

Some IDEs like CLion can import the project using the included CMakeLists.txt file.

🍎 MacOS

• brew install sdl2 — Install libraries with Homebrew.
• ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2/2.28.4 ./include/sdl2 — Link the SDL2 headers to the project.

Important

You may need to modify the path to /usr/local/bin/brew if you are on an Intel Mac.

🪟 Windows

Coming Soon™️

🐧 Linux

Assuming you have cmake ready, just download the sdl2 dependencies:

apt Users (e.g. Ubuntu & Debian)

# Make sure to `sudo apt update` first! Then install SDL2 dependencies:
sudo apt install libsdl2-dev

yum Users (e.g. Fedora & CentOS)

yum install SDL2-devel

People without a package manager??

Download the source zip from the latest SDL release.

Then extract and build.

cd <sdl folder>
# Configure the install
./configure
# Compile and install with make
make all
make install

Having Issues?

Sounds like a skill issue ;) Have fun debugging!
