About SuperTux

SuperTux is a jump'n'run game with strong inspiration from the Super Mario Bros. games for various Nintendo platforms.

Run and jump through multiple worlds, fighting off enemies by jumping on them, bumping them from below, or tossing objects at them, while grabbing power-ups and other collectibles along the way.

How to Build: Wii Homebrew Build

If you don't have the devkitPPC toolchain set up yet, see the section "devkitPro PowerPC Build System Setup Guide" first. Once devkitPPC is set up with all the required ported libraries and libogc, run the following to build the game:

Run autogen.sh (uses Configure to generate the Wii makefile for building):

./autogen.sh --enable-wii --prefix="${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc" --host=powerpc-eabi --target=powerpc-eabi --disable-opengl

Use make to cross-compile the game executable:
```
make -f Wii
```

For configure help:

./autogen.sh --help

Installing SuperTux on Wii (Homebrew Channel)

Create a folder called supertux inside the apps folder on your SD/USB device:
```
apps/supertux
```
Copy the compiled .dol file into the apps/supertux folder and rename it to boot.dol.
```
apps/supertux/boot.dol
```
Copy the icon.png and meta.xml files from the hbc/apps/supertux/ directory in the repository to your SD/USB device:
```
apps/supertux/icon.png
apps/supertux/meta.xml
```
Copy the data folder from the repository into the apps/supertux folder of your SD/USB device.
```
apps/supertux/data
```
Launch SuperTux from the Homebrew Channel. The game will create a config file and save folder on the first run.

Setup Guide for devkitPro PowerPC Build System

To set up the devkitPro devkitPPC PowerPC build system, follow the instructions on the official devkitPro wiki:

libogc
libfat-ogc
ppc-vorbisidec
ppc-zlib
wii-sdl
wii-sdl_image
wii-sdl_mixer

For the incomplete WIP OpenGL/OpenGX backend, the following are also required:

wii-freeglut

How to Build: Unsupported Standard Build (mostly for testing)

Run autogen.sh:

./autogen.sh

Use make to compile the game executable:

make -C build

Note: Installation is untested and not supported nor recommended unsupport standard builds. To test-run, copy the data folder to a safe place, then add the build/supertux executable and extras/supertux.png image alongside it. A template .desktop entry file has been included in the extras directory as supertux.desktop.
