A (terrible) sprite-less puzzle game cobbled together with OpenGL, originally conceived as a brief project but which ended up taking the entire summer to finish and costing a sizeable portion of my sanity along the way. Possibly my worst but still proudest creation.
Releases can probably be found under the "Releases" heading on the right-hand side of the page or here, if I actually remember to eventually add them. No installation is required, but you should probably put the executable in its own directory since it will create some files and I'm sure you wouldn't want this game cluttering up your directories.
Important
In any case, if you are compiling the binaries yourself, make sure to exclude editor/main.cpp from compilation unless you are compiling the level editor. This should have already been done in the project settings if you use the Visual Studio project files provided with this repo, so no action is necessary if you are using MSVC.
If you want to build the binaries for Windows yourself, compile it in Visual Studio using the Release option. (I might switch to using CMake later, but for now I'm too lazy to do that.) If for some reason you want to build GLFW yourself using CMake, uncheck USE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DLL. If for whatever reason statically linking the C++ runtime doesn't work, then change the runtime library setting to Multithreaded DLL (/MD) instead of Multithreaded (/MT) to dynamically link the runtime library (you might need to copy some required DLLs since the program might not know where to look for them).
If you're targeting another operating system, you'll also need to compile the binaries yourself; in that case, make sure that you are using C++17 (for std::filesystem support) and to link to opengl32.a/libopengl32.a. You'll also need to compile your own .a files for GLFW; you might want to link the program statically when compiling and accordingly build the correct version of GLFW for static linkage if you do so. The source code hopefully shouldn't contain anything Windows-specific (except for some minor things that are enclosed in #ifdef _WIN32), but I could be wrong.
I'll probably include the level editor alongside releases of the game.
To compile the level editor on Windows with MSVC, build the project in Visual Studio using the EditorRelease configuration. If you are compiling using something other than MSVC, simply exclude the original main.cpp file from compilation and include editor/main.cpp instead.
Note
To load a custom map into the regular game client, rename the exported level file to levels (no file extension) and put it in the same directory as the executable. The game should automatically load the map when restarted. (In the future, I may create a separate map loader to make this easier.)
