gamedev2gamedev2 is a reincarnation of a previous     project created by     Andy Belle-Isle and     Clyne Sullivan.After a long time developing gamedev,we decided a large amount of the codebase was rather messy and inefficient.Instead of rewriting gamedev piece by piece, we decided that the finalproduct would be of a much higher quality if the project was restarted fromscratch.GoalThe goal of gamedev2 is to create a commercial-grade video game in which contentcan be created through the use of scripting languages such as Lua. One of thethings that sets gamedev2 apart from many other indie games is that gamedev2is an engine in itself. By creating the engine behind the game, we are able toimplement only the necessary features needed to make gamedev2 run smoothlywithout the extra bloat brought on by a general purpose game engine.Features (Planned)Fully modifiable through the use of scripting languagesMultiplayerLibrariesThe libraries used to develop gamedev2 are as follows:* SDL2* OpenGL* GLEW* GLM* LuaJIT* sol2* EntityX* FreeType 2* SOIL* cerealBuilding gamedev2Build Requirementsgamedev2 is actively developed on Linux, so the Windows build process may notbe as simple as the Linux requirements listed below.In order to build gamedev2 the following programs are needed:* Make* g++ (version >7)* 64-Bit OS supportLinuxIn order to build gamedev2 on Linux, the process is fairly simple.1. First cd into the root gamedev2 directorycd gamedev2EntityX must be build first before the rest of gamedev2cd lib/entityxmakecd ../..To build gamedev2 itself the following can be run:makeIn order to make gamedev2 using multiple threads, use the following instead:make -jNwith 'N' being the number of threads to use while building.Once built, gamedev2 can be run with./main
