# AdaGate

## Recent Changes


**ver 7.4.5 -- 18feb2023**

**ver 7.4.6 -- 04apr2024**

* Corrected lava pools so that color is in sync with amplitude.
* Added brick room torches w/lighting effects.
* Minor revisions to level 1 scene.
* Made essential corrections in fog, crosshairs display.
* As an added challenge, a gravity-lock now prevents jumping out of the ZPM power grid until after activation is completed, i.e. puzzle is solved.
* Avatar may no longer pass between adjacent ZPMs.
* Continued games now track which power grids have been activated. Thus, resuming a game is more intuitive.


**ver 7.4.5 -- 18feb2024**

* Improved & generalized OSX build scripts.
* Effect of command line parameter: 1:allowHiDpi; 0:forceLoDpi(default).

* Added volume control + corrections to my OpenAL Ada binding.


**ver 7.4.4 -- 06oct2023**

* Restored OSX build...but without a bundle. Built without using any Xcode.


**ver 7.4.3 -- 17sep2023**

* Added an exception-handler to shutdown gracefully, in case of abort. This should also allow a normal resume after an abort.
* More relaxed camera angles, when possible.
* No longer build 32bit Windows executables, just 64-bit windows & linux.

**ver 7.4.2 -- 14jun2023**

* Discontiued OSX support, greatly simplifying game package.
* Added music to flyover intro screen.
* Restored best kawoosh sound.
* Avatar now rises & falls with ocean waves when swimming.

## AdaGate Game Description
AdaGate is a strategy game with escape rooms in a Stargate fantasy setting. It is an elaborate example of modern OpenGL programming using the Ada language; and a tribute to Narbacular Drop and Amelia Earhart.

Runs on Windows, OSX, and GNU/Linux. The linux binary now runs on many linux distros! Includes all source code, build scripts & resources.

## AdaGate Introduction
While searching a remote south-seas atoll for remnants of a lost American heroine, you find a nearly operational stargate. If you can get it working, you will be transported into an off-world temple with multiple chambers. You'll need to power up the portal system by rolling alien power cells onto their sockets. Simple, right? Then use your portal gun to bypass obstacles through another dimension.

Escape all chambers to ascend to the lake sanctuary, where the level of difficulty is increased for your next game.

The install directory should contain a subdirectory named "data". It contains shaders, skyboxes, sound and texture data, as well as the puzzle definitions.

Tips: 0) type "h" for the help screen. 1) the ZPM is heavy! If you kick it out of reach under water then you will be stranded on the island. 2) when in trouble in a dungeon, jumping may help.

By the way, you are ideally supposed to solve the sokoban puzzles without jumping up onto the walls. On the other hand, if you jump into the puzzle at the wrong place, it might be impossible to solve.

Three [pre-compiled] binary executables are delivered. I think the Windows executable is fairly portable. It was built on Windows 10. The linux binary, adagate, is intended to run in the presence of the directory "./libs/gnu", which contains GLFW3 libraries that can be, but need not be present on a target system.

The distributed linux executable requires glibc v2.14 or newer. That means if your distribution is older than june 2011, it may not run, and you will need to recompile.

Build scripts for GNU Ada [with its own g++] are provided. But should also work for GNAT from the GNU Compiler Collection, with minor changes. See ./alternateBuildScripts/.
