Release

Version:

0.18

Released:

31 March 2013

Changelog

Free Libre Action Roleplaying Engine is a simple game engine built to handle a very specific kind of game: single-player 2D action RPGs. Flare is not a reimplementation of an existing game or engine. It is a tribute to and exploration of the action RPG genre.

Rather than building a very abstract, robust game engine, the goal of this project is to build several real games and harvest an engine from the common, reusable code. The first game, in progress, is a fantasy dungeon crawl.

Flare uses simple file formats (INI style config files) for most of the game data, allowing anyone to easily modify game contents. Open formats are preferred (png, ogg). The game code is C++.

Is it possible to package it

Is it possible to package it for a distro? Will the binary work outside the resources directory?

Yes it is possible to package

Yes it is possible to package it. I could make a deb file if you're using ubuntu. The binary needs to be inside the resources directory.

Help building

I have downloaded the source, but I don't see how I am I supposed to build it.

I can't see any makefile of configure or bootstrap or autogen in the source package

There's a README included in

There's a README included in src/ directory:

Linux
- You MUST remove SDLMain.h and SDLMain.m (those SDLMain files are only for OSX)
- SDL, SDL_image, and SDL_mixer libraries are required (probably available through your regular package manager)
- The following command will compile the game on most systems (run this in the src folder)
g++ -I /usr/include/SDL *.cpp -o rpgdemo -lSDL -lSDL_image -lSDL_mixer
- Move rpgdemo to the resources folder and run it from there

I've tested it and it successfully compiles and runs.
