The entire game engine's features will be able to run on an AMD A6-3420M APU, an 11 year old APU from AMD made for entry level laptops.
On all supported Operating Systems (OS'), the first step is to download this repository
Open the folder in which Constellation Engine is on your system in your terminal and run the following commands depending on your distro
If you get a message containing "Y/n :" type in Y and hit enter.
On Debian, if this is your first compile of Constellation Engine run make debiandeps to install dependencies and make linux to compile :)
On Arch, the installation process is different based off if you're using Wayland or X11. To find out which one you're on, run echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY. If it outputs nothing, you're on X11. If it outputs something like wayland-0 then you're on Wayland.
On Wayland, if this is your first compile of Constellation Engine run make archwaylanddeps to install dependencies and make linux to compile :)
On X11, if this is your first compile of Constellation Engine run make archx11deps to install dependencies and make linux to compile :)
Open the folder in which Constellation Engine is on your system in your terminal.
If you have brew installed, and this is your first compile of Constellation Engine, run make mac to compile. Enjoy :)
If this is your first compile of Constellation Engine and you don't have brew installed, run make macdeps to install dependencies and make mac to compile. Enjoy :)
On Windows with Visual Studio, first install Visual Studio 2022 (if you haven't already), then download this repository, download the thirdparty tools needed to build on windows from the ConstellationGamesOrg github profile and make sure your folder structure looks like so:
Programming Folder
|
|-> Constellation Engine
| |
| |-> (The project files)
|
|-> Thirdparty
| |
| |-> (The thirdparty files)
Then go into Constellation Engine and open ConstellationEngine.sln in Visual Studio 2022. :)
On Windows without Visual Studio, first download g++ (if you haven't already), download this repository, download the thirdparty tools repository from the ConstellationGamesOrg github profile's "thirdparty" repository and make sure your folder structure looks like so:
Programming Folder
|
|-> Constellation Engine
| |
| |-> (The project files)
|
|-> Thirdparty
| |
| |-> (The thirdparty files)
Now, open up the command prompt and type make windows. This will automatically compile + run the engine. Note: If you're wondering where the executable is, it's called ConstellationEngine.exe and lies in the root of the Constellation-Engine folder.
