ClanBomber2

This is a fork of ClanBomber2 NonGNU, ported to SDL2

Aditional features

• Ported to SDL2, is faster and better supported. Full hardware acceleration.
• Updated to C++17
• Windowed mode can be resized (internal resolution is still 800x600)
• Re-added music from ClanBomber (bud.mod, press F2 to activate in game)
• Optimized routines for low end computers (Raspberry Pi, netbooks, ...)

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

Linux Debian / Ubuntu / Raspbian

sudo apt-get install gcc g++ autopoint automake autoconf autoconf-archive gettext pkg-config libtool make libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev

Windows (MSYS2 MinGW 64)

pacman -Syyu autoconf autoconf-archive automake make pkg-config mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2_image mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2_mixer mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2_ttf mingw-w64-x86_64-make mingw-w64-x86_64-libtool

OpenBSD

pkg_add gcc g++ autoconf-2.69p2 automake-1.16.1 autoconf-archive sdl2 sdl2_image sdl2_gfx sdl2_ttf sdl2_mixer gettext-tools

Building

Download ClanBomber2 source code, under your project folder

git clone https://github.com/viti95/ClanBomber2.git

Update generated config files (add AUTOCONF_VERSION and AUTOMAKE_VERSION before autoreconf for OpenBSD)

cd ClanBomber2
autoreconf -fvi

Configure the project to your preference

• Linux Debian / Ubuntu

./configure CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=native"

• Windows (MSYS2 MinGW 64)

./configure CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=native" --disable-dependency-tracking

• Raspberry Pi 2

./configure CXXFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=cortex-a7 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard"

• Raspberry Pi 3

./configure CXXFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=cortex-a53 -mfpu=neon-fp-armv8 -mfloat-abi=hard"

• OpenBSD 6.6 (iBook G4)

./configure CC=egcc CXX=eg++ CXXFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=7450 -mtune=7450 -mabi=altivec"

• Debug Build

./configure CXXFLAGS="-g"

And finally to build (replace <num_threads> with the number of logical cores your processor has)

make -j <num_threads>

Installing

Once you've built the sources, you can install the game simply by typing

make install

Command line usage

Usage: clanbomber2 [--software|direct3d|opengl|opengles|opengles2] [--fullscreen]

• --software, disables rendering hardware acceleration. Slower, but fixes some problems with unsupported hardware
• --direct3d, forces Direct3D as renderer
• --opengl, forces OpenGL as renderer
• --opengles, forces OpenGL ES 1.0 as renderer
• --opengles2, forces OpenGL ES 2.0 as renderer (recommended for Raspberry Pi)
• --fullscreen

TODO / Nice to have

• Port to LibRetro (support for consoles)
• Add support for mobile platforms (iOS / Android)
• New or better AI, current doesn't feel human at all and in most cases it's impossible to win
• Add options to use old (ClanBomber 1) resources
• Add benchmarking options
• Update build system to CMake
• Re-add online (was removed due to problems with Raspbian)
• Optimize by using multiple threads
• Add options to enable / disable VSync (currently disabled)
• Remove dependency on Boost library
• Support more languages
