Elemental Game and Custom-built Game Engine

Welcome to Elemental Game, a game and custom-built game engine designed for creating simple, top-down strategy games. This README provides an overview of the project, its design principles, goals, and instructions for building and testing.

Getting Started

Build Tools

  • CMake (version 3.21 or higher)
  • C++17-compatible compiler

Project Structure

  • src/: Contains the engine logic, defines a libray target
  • apps/: Contains the game source, as well as source for resource editors, all consumers of the engine target
  • test/: Contains unit tests

Library Dependencies

  • Catch2 v3: Test framework for C++ (can be fetched using FetchContent).
  • FakeIt: Mocking framework for C++ (fetched using FetchContent).
  • SDL2: A cross-platform development library providing low-level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, and display functions.
  • SDL2_Image: An extension library for SDL2, offering support for loading various image file formats.
  • SDL2_Gfx: A graphics primitive extension library for SDL2, providing additional functionality for efficient graphics rendering.

Building the Project

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone <URL>
    
  2. Navigate to the project directory:

    cd  elemental-game
    
  3. Configure your build system:

    cmake -B debug -G Unix Makefiles
    # or
    cmake -B debug -G Ninja   # this is faster and more modern
    
  4. Invoke your build system

    cmake --build debug
    

Running Unit Tests

  1. After building the project, you can run the unit tests:

    cmake --build --target ctest
    

This will execute the Catch2 test suite.
