Download

Download binary for your operating system from dist folder and run installer (.exe or .dmg, no dependencies needed)

Or run from source

Click download zip then you will need dependencies:

Windows:

Download python, pygame, tkinter, and PIL

then run 'python ChadTech.py'

MAC:

Easiest way to get dependancies is homebrew is the preferred method to get them http://brew.sh/

Open a terminal and type: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

When its done we need some stuff from it: brew install python mercurial brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf portmidi

Now we need some more stuff from the python package manager :) pip install PIL pip install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame

Now we're finally ready, go to directory with chadtech in it and type python ChadTech.py

Building an OSX binary (optional)

You might wish to run a more bleeding edge version of chadtech, but still want it to be a mac .app file. To make the mac .app file you'll need another package if you dont have it: pip install py2app numpy

Then you can run ./buildosx.sh to create an app and DMG

Building a Windows binary (optional)

  1. Install cxfreeze
  2. In the directory 'ChadTech-v0' run 'python intoexe.py build'
  3. A folder named 'build' should now exist, add to it 'thumbnail.png','selected.png','introscreen.png','/chars6x8', and '/chars12x16'.
  4. The build file is ChadTech as released. The exe in the build file is the application. Its icon is 'thumbnail.ico'.
  5. To create the installer install NSIS, and look for the NSIS quick setup application online. The NSIS quick setup guide, with particular settings, created 'ChadTech-installer.exe'
