Spellcraft

A new original N64 game

Building

Use libdragon to build the project.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/lambertjamesd/spellcraft
# or to init the submodule (after default clone)
git submodule update --init --recursive
# or to update the content of the submodules to the pinned libdragon sha
git submodule update --remote --recursive

You need to specify the location of blender 4.5.8 using en enviroment variable

export BLENDER_4=/home/james/Blender/blender-4.5.8-linux-x64/blender

replace the location of blender where it is installed on your machine.

You will also need python installed.

sudo apt install python3

I have version 3.12.3 installed.

After that it should only take running make in the root directory of this project

JQ

Building requires jq

sudo apt install jq

Docker

You can optionally build the project with docker. Build the container

docker build -t spellcraft-dev-env .

Run the container

docker run -v ${pwd}:/spellcraft -it spellcraft-dev-env

Run Make

make

Enemy ideas
