This repository contains the final project of the Digital Entertainment class taken at PUCRS university in 2013.
In this class the students learned how to make video-games and the final project consisted in applying the acquired knowledge to develop a remake of a known game.
The games should be developed using the SFML library and the maps should be designed using the Tiled map editor.
I chose to remake Super Mario World. The physics in this game was completely written by me.
In 2015 I couldn't compile the project anymore. I can't remember why, but it had something to do with an update in Ubuntu. I was able to fix it somehow.
It comes with no surprises that in 2022 I couldn't compile the project anymore. I couldn't even remember which libraries were required to do so.
I'm very proud of the outcome of this project and for some reason I never published it. I decided to take the effort of fixing it one more time. This time, inside Docker.
I chose Docker for 3 reasons:
- Make the instalation self contained and isolated
- Make it easy for other people to try the project out
- Hopefuly being able to easily compile the project in the future
The instructions to build and run the project are specific to Linux systems as it uses the X window system's forwarding feature to run the game inside Docker using the host's display.
First you'll need to build the game image:
bin/build
This process will download all the dependencies that are necessary to compile and run the game, including the dependencies that are necessary to compile SFML 2.0, which was the version the game was built upon. The final size of the image is around 520MB. Everything is done inside Docker, so you don't need to worry to clean it up later.
To run the game you just need to run:
bin/run
It will start a container and hook it up with the host's X window system and sound.
Controls:
- Move left and right: A and D
- Run and jump: J and K
Enjoy!
