Skippy

Skippy is a simple browser-based game built using C, SDL2, and compiled to WebAssembly using Emscripten. Play it now in the browser!

Requirements

• Emscripten: Emscripten is required to compile the game for the web.
• CMake: CMake is used for building the project.
• Python3: Python3 is required by Emscripten for various tools. If you install Emscripten via the SDK, or package managers such as Homebrew and Pacman, Python3 will be automatically installed as a dependency.
• SDL2: The game uses SDL2 for handling graphics and input. Emscripten will automatically handle this via its ports, and so SDL2, SDL2_image, SDL2_mixer, and SDL2_ttf are only required as separate installations if you intend to build natively instead of for the web.

Install these requirements using your method of choice, e.g. on Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S cmake emscripten

Or on macOS:

brew cmake emscripten

Build & Run

The project uses CMake for building. You can use the build.sh script to compile the project with different build modes.

• Run the following to build the project:

./scripts/build.sh --debug

• By default, the build type is debug. To build with optimizations, use release:

./scripts/build.sh --release

2. Running the Game in the Browser

To run the game in a browser, use the run.sh script:

./scripts/run.sh

This will serve the game in a browser window.
