Source

Tools used

Ghidra, Ida, Visual Studio

What was done

Compiling

Project uses C++11 and depends on SDL2 libs.

On Windows

Download and unpack devel packages for SDL2 and SDL2_mixer.\ Set paths to them in CMakeLists.txt, see suggested placement in /Libs.\ Compile with Visual Studio; tested with 2019.

On Linux

Install devel packages for SDL2 and SDL2_mixer.\ Compile with CMake; tested with GCC 10, Clang 11.\ To cross-compile for Windows, install a 64-bit version of mingw and its SDL2 and SDL2_mixer distributions, then use the mingwcc.cmake toolchain.

Packaging status

Some distributions provide a package in their repository. You can use those for easier dependency management and updates.

This project is available as Flatpak on Flathub.

On macOS

Install XCode (or at least Xcode Command Line Tools with xcode-select --install) and CMake.

HomeBrew

You can easily install the build artifact by using brew.

brew tap draftbrew/tap
brew install --no-quarantine space-cadet-pinball

Be aware that the flag --no-quarantime will disable macOS's Gatekeeper during installation.

Manual compilation:

Compile with CMake. Ensure that CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES variable is set for either x86_64 Apple Intel or arm64 for Apple Silicon.

Tested with: macOS Big Sur (Intel) with Xcode 13 & macOS Montery Beta (Apple Silicon) with Xcode 13.

Automated compilation:

Run the build-mac-app.sh script from the root of the repository. The app will be available in a DMG file named SpaceCadetPinball-<version>-mac.dmg.

Tested with: macOS Ventura (Apple Silicon) with Xcode Command Line Tools 14 & macOS Big Sur on GitHub Runner (Intel) with XCode 13.

Plans

On 64-bit bug that killed the game

I did not find it, decompiled game worked in x64 mode on the first try.\ It was either lost in decompilation or introduced in x64 port/not present in x86 build.\ Based on public description of the bug (no ball collision), I guess that the bug was in TEdgeManager::TestGridBox
