Installation

[Back to top]

For `Windows`

⬇️ Download the prebuilt zip file and unzip it.
Run the executable named spaceShooter inside the extracted file.

`Linux/Debian` based systems

Option 1: Download the zipped executable file

⬇️ Download the latest zip file for linux
Unzip the file

If your download was saved on the ~/Downloads folder

Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open the shell if you are on GNU/Linux based systems and type

$ unzip ~/Downloads/SpaceShooter-0.0.3.Linux.zip -d ~/Desktop
$ cd ~/Desktop
$ ## navigate to the unzipped file and change the file permissions for the executable
~/Desktop $ chmod +x spaceShooter
~/Desktop $ ./spaceShooter

This will unzip the file on your Desktop, you can replace it with the directory of your choice

NOTE : If it gives you an error, you probably don't have unzip installed in your system.

$ sudo apt-get install unzip

That should fix the error.

Run the executable named spaceShooter

A Similar process would be followed for OS X

Option 2: Build from source

You need to have pygame installed for this option.

For `FreeBSD`

$ sudo pkg install devel/py-game

Clone the repo

$ git clone https://github.com/tasdikrahman/spaceShooter.git
$ cd spaceShooter/
$ chmod +x spaceShooter.py
$ python spaceShooter.py

For `Ubuntu/Debian`

$ sudo apt-get install python-pygame

Clone the repo

$ git clone https://github.com/tasdikrahman/spaceShooter.git
$ cd spaceShooter/ 
$ python spaceShooter.py

For `MAC OS X`

You have to build from source to get it up and running on OS X. Reason? I don't have an OS X system to build the executable! So I would love for a Pull request on that one.

Building from source will do the trick though

$ pip3 install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame

Install Pygame specific dependencies

$ brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_ttf portmidi libogg libvorbis
$ brew install sdl_mixer --with-libvorbis

Clone the repo

$ git clone https://github.com/tasdikrahman/spaceShooter.git
$ cd spaceShooter/ 
$ python spaceShooter.py
