Holy Balls: The Game A free and open source capture-the-flag game. Version 1.0, now with gameplay and some semblance of object oriented code!

TODO

Proposed Gameplay

* Capture the flag based
* event engine interfaces with game engine that announces what happens, sends data to socket code to talk to client

Requirements

• Linux/Windows
  • Hardware
    • unholyballs requires at least a modern integrated graphics chipset (OpenGL 2.0 support)
    • holyballs require at least an ATi Mobility Radeon HD 4670 to run at 640x480 at 60fps
  • Software
    • SDL2 is required for both versions
    • OpenAL is required for both versions
    • OpenGL and GLEW is required for both versions
    • OpenCL is required only for holyballs
• Mac
  • Hardware
    • unholyballs requires a Mac from the last 10 years
    • holyballs requires a Mac with OpenCL support
  • Software
    • Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite or higher; earlier versions have not been tested

Installing

On Ubuntu:

apt-get install libsdl2-dev libglew-dev libalut-dev

Building

• Linux

  • make see 'make all'

  • make server will build only the server

  • make holyballs will build holyballs, the ray tracing binary. requires OpenCL and at minimum a GTS450. will only work for single GPU systems.

  • make multiballs will build multiballs, the multi-gpu ray tracing binary. requires OpenCL and at minimum a GTS450. if on a single GPU system, will run slower than holyballs.

  • make unholyballs will build only the unholyballs binary, for people with lesser graphics cards

  • make all will build all four binaries

• Mac
  • Open Holy Balls.xcodeproj and build hbserver and one of the clients.
  • Copy the sound filles, font files, and optionally the OpenCL sources (required for holyballs and multiballs) into your build directory.
