Build

Quick Build (Recommended)

Use the provided build script:

chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh

Manual Build

If you prefer to build manually:

mkdir -p build
cd build

macOS/Linux

cmake ..
cmake --build . -j$(nproc)

Windows

cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles"
cmake --build . -j$(nproc)

Run

After building, run the game:

macOS/Linux

./estate

Windows

estate.exe

• WASD: Move player
• Mouse: Aim and attack
• B: Return to background selection
• ESC: Exit game/Skip talent selection
• Arrow Keys: Navigate talent selection
• Enter: Select talent

Development

Adding New Content

1. New Enemies: Add implementations in src/enemies/ and update the enemy factory
2. New Weapons: Add implementations in src/weapons/ and update the weapon factory
3. New Talents: Add implementations in src/talents/ and update the talent factory
4. New Backgrounds: Add implementations in src/backgrounds/ and update the background factory
5. Assets: Place new textures in appropriate assets/ subdirectories

Building in Debug Mode

The game includes debug features enabled by default:

• FPS counter
• Collision box visualization
• Debug console output

Configure these in src/config.h.

Troubleshooting

SFML not found during build

• macOS: Ensure SFML is installed via Homebrew: brew install sfml
• Linux: Ensure libsfml-dev is correctly installed
• Windows: Make sure SFML is properly installed via MSYS2

Font loading errors

Make sure assets/ARIAL.TTF exists and is accessible. The build process should copy assets to the build directory automatically.
