sdl_breakout

sdl_breakout copied to clipboard

This is a small breakout game that I made to test a new approach of separating Lua and C++ code when working with SDL.

The entire game logic is written in Lua. (start reading here)

The small "engine" is written in C++ with SDL (start reading here).

The entire Lua/C++ bindings can be found here

This is a port of my old test game, Ebiten Breakout.

It's in public domain, so do whatever you want with it.

The process of its short development was documented here: https://github.com/eliasdaler/edw.is/discussions/4

I'll be continuing doing stuff with this new "engine", I'll probably release it's iterative versions some day!

Building

Stuff you'll need:

• A C++20 compiler (but you can also downgrade to C++17, which sol2 still uses)
• git
• CMake 3.18+

git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. # add -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF to link statically
cmake --build . --target breakout
./games/breakout/breakout
