ARCADE

The Arcade is a project where we had to built a gaming platform on Linux, managing several games and several graphical libraries loaded dynamically.

Arcade is a gaming platform: a program that lets the user choose a game to play and keeps a register of player scores.

Graphical libraries implemented:

-> Ncurses

-> Allegro

-> SDL2

Game libraries implemented:

-> Pacman (not working completly)

-> Nibbler

-> SolarFox

Program compilation:

Linux:

      make

Will compile the entire project.

      make core

Only compile the core of the program.

      make games

Wil only compile the game libraries.

      make graphicals

Will only compile the graphical libraries.

All the lib_arcade_[NAME_OF_THE_LIB].so are located in the ./lib folder.

All the lib_arcade_[NAME_OF_THE_GAME].so are located in the ./games folder.

The games and lib folder will be created at compile time and erase with the fclean rule.

Launching:

Linux:

      ./arcade ./lib_arcade_[NAME_OF_THE_LIB].so

The program need to be launch with a set graphical library of your choice. Don't worry if you don't really like it you can change it when your game is launch.

How to play:

Up and down arrow keys let you go through the differents elements.

Left and right arrow keys change the menu you're in.

Once you've choose both your graphical and game library just press SPACE to start the game.

Aracade Usage

Global commands

As i've said before, while you are playing, you can switch of game and graphical library whenever you want. To do so some keys are binded:

Switch between graphicals libraries:

E: Previous graphical library.

Z: Next graphical library.

Leaving the game and the program:

ESCAPE: (while in game): Return to the Selection Menu.

Q: (while in game) or ESCAPE (in the startup menu): Quit the program.

Game commands

Arrow key: Move your character.

S: Restart your game.

SPACE: To pause the game.

Switching game:

A: Go to the previous game.

Z: Go to the next game.

Project realised by:

• Alexandre Sachs : alexandre.sachs@outlook.fr

• Antoine Pelletant : antoine.pelletant@epitech.eu

• Thomas Bleneau : thomas.bleneau@epitech.eu

  One of the goal of the project was to be able to load libraries, whom had been coded by an other group of student.

To do so we've worked with:

• Kellian Cipierre : kellian.cipierre@cipierre.eu
• Martin Cotoni : martin.cotoni@epitech.eu
• Thomas Lombard : thomas.lombard@epitech.eu
