About

Simple Klondike is a very simple Klondike game written mainly in C, using OpenGL ES 2.x for the graphics engine.

Platforms support

Simple Klondike currently compiles for the following platforms :

• X11
• Android (ARM)

However, feel free to add support for the platforms you like.

Compiling

X11

Requirements

• X11 libraries and development headers
• OpenGL ES 2.x libraries and development headers
• EGL libraries and development headers
• C Compiler
• The following tools :
• find
• sed
• xdg-desktop-menu

Quick version

make
make install

Explanations

In order to compile this game, simply run make in the main folder.

Then :

• if you want to run it from the source folder, just type .build/SimpleKlondike.
• if you want to install it, run make install.
• This command will install the game in ~/.local/games/SimpleKlondike and install a corresponding desktop file.
• Once installed, you can find the game in the 'Games' category of your desktop environment.
• To remove the game, just type make uninstall.

Android

Requirements

• A Cross-compiling C compiler
• Android SDK Build tools 25.0.1
• Android SDK Platform-tools 25.0.1
• Android SDK Platform 25 (Android 7.1.1)
• Make
• find
• An Android ARM phone, or an Android ARM emulator with OpenGL ES 2.x support

Quick version

make android
make android_install

Explanations

• make android will generate the android libraries and the APK file in ./myy/platforms/android/apk/app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk.
• You will need a cross-compiling gcc for that matter, like armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi-gcc.
• TODO: Currently, the Makefile does not use the capabitilies of the Android NDK.
• make android_install will install the APK file into the plugged ARM phone / ARM emulator.
• make android_uninstall will remove the APK file from the plugged ARM phone / ARM emulator.

Regenerating the textures

Requirements

• Ruby (to generate all the SVG from SVG templates)
• myy_color 0.1 (myy_bmp2raw)
• ImageMagick (convert and montage)
• Inkscape (to convert the SVG to PNG)

Procedure

To regenerate the textures, run convert.sh in the Generator folder.

Quick explanation

The generator will :

• Generate 56 cards SVG (52 cards + 4 stack marks) in the cards sub-folder using svg_cards_generator.rb

• Convert all the SVG in the current folder and cards sub-folder, to PNG files in the png folder, using Inkscape

• Generate a montage of all the 56 cards, the back card picture, the 'reset pool' mark and the selection mark.

• Extent the previous montage to add some width padding and copy it to result/cards_texture.bmp

• Currently, the padding is done by adding a part of the background texture to it. However, this part is not used in the game.

• The width padding is used so that each card takes 1/16 of the texture in width.

• Convert result/cards_texture.bmp to result/all_cards_tex.raw using myy_bmp2raw

• Generate a montage of all the menu PNG in the menus sub-folder

• convert the previous montage to result/menus.bmp

• Convert result/menus.bmp to result/menus.raw using myy_bmp2raw
