tanks

A simple tanks war game, written in GO.

Source of the resources I used:

  • (I forgot from where I got the sound effects, although I remember I used this site to get the sound effects)
  • The resources I used in this project are not original, I have edited some of them
  • I used the go-sdl2 library here.

The game:

There will be a player tank(the green tank), and lots of enemy tanks(the red tanks). The enemy tanks will either try to shoot the player or else shoot at a random direction. The player will win, if it kills all the enemy tanks by shooting them. If any of the enemy tanks shoot and kills the player tank, the player loses. At first there will be a minumum number of enemy tanks, which will increase slowly...

How to run:

Grab the latest stable compiled binaries here(scroll down, and check the Assets)

Controls:

Press w to move the player tank(the green tank) forward(or up). Press a to move the player tank(the green tank) left. Press s to move the player tank(the green tank) backward(or down). Press d to move the player tank(the green tank) right.

Press LEFT ARROW to rotate the player tank(the green tank) anti-clockwise. Press LEFT ARROW to rotate the player tank(the green tank) clockwise.

Press SPACE to shoot.

How to build:

I would highly encourage you to understand each and every steps of the build process

On GNU/Linux:

  1. Get(and install) the go compiler from golang.org.(I recommend you to use the compiler from golang.org, not the package manager's one, and I have not tested the gccgo compile, there are thousands of tutorials available in the internet, for doing this)
  2. Ensure that you have these requirements.
  3. Get the zip of my project, extract it anywhere in your pc.
  4. Go to the directory where you have extracted it, and run go build -o tanks.
  5. To run the exectutable, run ./tanks.

On Windows:

Almost same as of GNU/Linux, excpet, for the last step, you should use .\tanks, and for the first step, you have only one option, i.e., to get your compiler from golang.org.

On macOS:

I don't use it, BTW, you may contribute the steps....

Build release:

  • If you want to build release binaries yourself, you may use the release_script.sh script to do that.
  • I do the development in a Linux distro, so to run this script, you need to be on a Linux distro.
  • I cross compile to get builds for other OS's. Make sure you have met these dependencies.
  • Run sh release_script.sh <VERSION STRING>(example: sh release_script.sh v2.0.3) in the root directory of my project, after completition of this command, you will see the release builds, inside the release directory.
  • You may also read this to understand my release script.

Thanks in advance for contributing to my project ☺️
