PokeMania is a rendition over the very famous Flappy Bird Game with additional features. We made this game basically as a part of our Computer Graphics Project in college.
Simple and Fast Multimedia Library (SFML) is a cross-platform software development library designed to provide a simple application programming interface (API) to various multimedia components in computers. It is written in C++ with bindings available for other languages
- SFML is perfect for writing 2D games of any size or complexity at all
- It provides cross-platform compatibility and as its name suggests it is easy to learn and use
- It is free, open-sourced and has a good community for discussions and problems
- Lastly, It also provides a graphics module for simple hardware acceleration of 2D computer graphics which includes text rendering using FreeType, an audio module that uses OpenAL and a networking module for basic Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) communication.
Of course, It is not an all-in-one solution for all your game development needs like Unreal Engine, CryEngine or Unity. It will not let you design huge realistic 3d worlds, build 3d models or create movie-like cut-scenes. But for us being beginners at game development, it is great source of learning.
- SFML 2.5.1 - GCC 7.3.0 MinGW (DW2) 32-bit (for Windows)
- GCC 7.3.0 MinGW (DW2) 32-bit (for Windows)
- Git Bash (for Windows)
- SFML 2.5.1 - Clang 64-bit
- Command Line Tools / XCode (type "xcode-select --install" in terminal to trigger the installer)
- Get SFML 2.5.1 from your distro if it has it, or compile from source
- Visual Studio Code
- Extensions (install from Extensions panel):
- Official C/C++ Extension (0.21.0+)
- Download & Extract SFML to C:/SFML-2.5.1/ where the bin/lib/include folders are contained within
- Download & Extract MinGW to C:/mingw32/ where the bin/lib/include folders are contained within
- Install "Command Line Tools" in MacOS if they're not already installed (type "xcode-select --install" in terminal)
- Follow the "Installing SFML" directions here: https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.5/start-osx.php#installing-sfml
- Ensure the GCC Toolchain is installed (sudo apt install build-essential) (sudo pacman -S base-devel)
- Install libsfml (sudo apt install libsfml-dev) (sudo pacman -S sfml). The SFML version you got will vary depending on the distro. 2.5.1 is included in Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo for example.
- Download & Install Visual Studio Code if you don't already have it.
- Install the official C/C++ Extension, reload the window & wait for the dependencies to install.
- If on Windows, install Git Bash, and ensure the "terminal.integrated.shell.windows" property in the project's settings.json is set to bash.exe's correct location (default: C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe). We'll be using this for the terminal in our workspace so that the Makefile can run in both Windows, Mac & Linux
- In settings.json Ensure Path in the terminal.integrated.env.windows object is set to the correct location of the compiler's executable (example: C:\mingw32\bin) and the SFML directory is correct as well. Keep in mind Paths should be separated by a semi-colon with no spaces between.
