Install dependencies and you should be able to compile and run.

Windows

To compile for windows, you'll need :

  • A Unix like environment (via Cygwin for example)
  • Install dependencies and run make
  • Start a X server (XWin Server, installed with cygwin automatically) before running the game

Dependencies

  • X11
  • SDL and SDL_mixer

Execution

Open a terminal in project root and run ./space

If you want to start game at wave 4 for example, just run ./space 4

Keep playing until the Final Wave, there's a surprise at the end !

Troubleshooting

  • If gcc is unable to find the libs :

    1. open src/makefile
    2. add /path/to/libs to LIBS_PATH variable (don't forget -L)

  • If make command returns a "Clock skew detected" error:

    1. run make clean
    2. then find src -exec touch \{\} \;
    3. and re-compile again with make
