build instructions

[trickpattyFH20]

@rak0njac can you provide an updated readme with instructions on how to build this, and on where to get the assets?

Hello @trickpattyFH20, @LeftyyGD,

Maybe I can help with the build instructions. Here's what I've done on Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S sfml
git clone git@github.com:rak0njac/IcyTowerClone.git
cd IcyTowerClone
sed -i 's@include <SFML\\@include <SFML/@' *.h
sed -i 's@static enum@enum@' *.h
g++ -std=c++11 -I. -I/usr/include *.cpp -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system -lsfml-audio -o icytower

Starting the game then is as simple as:

./icytower

You'd still have to figure out where to get and put the assets, but the game is actually kind of playable without the assets; it's just all white rectangles on a black background. I have to say I'm impressed by the result: it really feels like the original game, even without the sounds and the pretty graphics. Kudos @rak0njac !

Also, if I may ask for something I think is even more important than build instructions (because we can figure out that part, ultimately): a LICENSE would allow us to know what as an author you allow us to do with your work. A free software license would be awesome! Thanks!

All code is public domain, do what you like with it! I struggle with time to even announce that, let alone provide build instructions! Great job!

That's an awesome gift to both the free software community and the Icy Tower community! Thank you so much @rak0njac!

I know what you mean… I hope you're doing good!

If you are on Linux you will probably want to replace the backslashes in the paths like this

sed -i 's/\\\\/\//g' ICYTOWERCL/*

The assets path is then ../Assets if you want to change it to /your/path/here you could run

sed -i 's/\.\.\/Assets/\/your\/path\/here/g' ICYTOWERCL/*

Don't forget to rebuild the binary by running make again after the changes.
