Quest for the Golden Plunger

(1/1)

pimathbrainiac:
So @Eskmo and myself were in the same AP Computer Science class this past year, and for our final project, we made a roguelike. You are a man in a maze with randomly placed torches. You have to find the golden plunger before the "minotaur" (actually a dancing ditto) catches you.

Source here. Screenies soon.

EDIT: This is a project with SDL as its dependency and also has a windows-specific makefile atm (blame netbeans). If you want to make, I'll figure out how to make it setup-independent.

alberthrocks:
This looked really tricky to compile (especially with the environment, since the paths are not necessarily correct). On Windows, this is a nightmare if you don't know what to get!

To remedy this, I built a little installer for you guys!

Download here: ap_cs_project_win32.zip



For those trying to build it, I actually used Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 to build this. It'll give strange errors at first (after all paths and such are set up correctly) - but all you have to do is move the variable declaration to the top (before any actual execution happens), and you should be good.

@pimathbrainiac + @Eskmo: I'd be happy to give you guys what I have! Also, the installer assumes that the license is GPLv3. If it's NOT, please let me know (highlight me @alberthrocks) and I'll change it ASAP and update the source/binary accordingly.

EDIT: I meant variable declaration only, no initialization. If you declare and initialize at the same time, e.g. int bla = somevalue;, split it up - put int bla; on top, and then where the old line used to be, put bla = somevalue;. Repeat for everything else!

EDIT #2: The installer will also install the VC++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable (x86), if you don't have it installed already.

pimathbrainiac:
@alberthrocks well right now the licence is "we're making the proprietary eventually to release on greenlight or desura." The current version's licence should be the wtfpl, imo.

Also I have the binaries and required dlls in a zip file I can upload (and since we used MinGW, no msvcr needed :P). I'll upload that when I get time. I don't like installers much, since I can't use them myself (still no admin privileges on my computer).

EDIT: Here is the zip file

EDIT 2: Screenies!
Game start!

When both you and the minotaur are in the sight of the torches, the plunger appears.

Avoid the minotaur-ditto-minotaur, or it's game over.

Matrefeytontias:
Nice :D I downloaded it, I'll try it soon.

alberthrocks:
Re-did the binaries again, this time making it static so that no Visual C++ 2010 stuff is needed! With some tricks and whirls, got the file size to something significantly tiny! (478 KB vs 1093 KB - it can go down even lower without the 218 KB icon!)
