This project of the Advanced C++ knowledge unit will introduce you to networked video game development, and will give you the opportunity to explore advanced development techniques as well as to learn good software engineering practices. The goal is to implement a multithreaded server and a graphical client for a well-known legacy video game called 'R-Type', using a game engine of your own design.
- Install VCPKG.
After the installation done, on Linux :
git clone git@github.com:microsoft/vcpkg.git./vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
export VCPKG_ROOT=/path/vcpkg
source ~./bashrcmkdir build
cd buildIf you have ninja:
cmake .. -G Ninja
ninja
else:
cmake ..
cmake --build ../vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.bat- In advanced parameters system, add the environnement variable :
VCPKG_ROOT, that contain the/path/vcpkg. - When it's done, restart your computer.
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release-DCOMPILE_DEBUG=ON: Compile the project in debug mode.-DCOMPILE_EXAMPLES=ON: Compile the examples.-DCOMPILE_FLAPPYBIRD=ON: Compile the flappy bird game.-DCOMPILE_SOLORTYPE=ON: Compile the solo r-type game.-DCOMPILE_EDITOR=ON: Compile the editor. All the flags can be combined. For found executable, just go into theReleasefolder. They are classified by folder.
Products to be delivered
r-type_server r-type_client # They are all located in the Release folder
In Terminal
./r-type_serverIn another terminal
./r-type_client [PORT] [IP SERVER] [PORT]
