SFML_project

Multiplatform minigame that demonstrates SFML library potential.

Configuring

In file textures/constants.txt you can set up the game settings: server ip, ports, pixel size, VSYNC, framerate limit, etc.

Installation

Linux

• install dependencies:

apt install libxrandr-dev libxcursor-dev libudev-dev libopenal-dev libflac-dev libvorbis-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libegl1-mesa-dev libdrm-dev libgbm-dev

• build the game:

cmake -B build
cmake --build build --target install

Running

build/bin directory will consist all binaries and textures:

• SFML_project - game client executable

  • w, a, s and d buttons for moving across the map,
  • Tab button for opening inventory.

• server - game server executable

• textures - dir with all textures and configuration files

About server and multiplayer

Server sends all the information about terrain, objects around and player's inventory to each client.

At the moment, player can't connect to the global server defined in settings file without being in the same local network. So, player has 2 options:

• message me in Telegram and ask OpenVPN configuration file for globally deployed server
• run server on a dedicated device in the same local network you want to play in
