This is Castle Games, an environment for creating and distributing lua games for Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and maybe Linux. The Castle team worked on this in 2018-2019. It is currently in stasis while we work on castle.xyz; however, it might still boot up and run games.

• Run format.sh after making changes to native code.
• For JS code in the desktop UI, see desktop/README.md.

See macosx/README.md.

See mobile/README.md.

• Install https://gitforwindows.org/. Use this program to clone the repo, not WSL.
• Install CMake. https://cmake.org/download/
  • Make sure to check the "add to PATH for current user" option.
• Install Visual Studio 2017. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs
  • When you are prompted to install some "Workloads", at the minimum you want "Desktop development with C++". You can come back to this screen later if you want more things.

Use either Git Bash or WSL to run commands in.

• Make sure Git LFS is initialized.
• Go into the 'megasource/' directory.
• Run sh configure_cmake.sh. You don't need to do this every time, but you need to do it at least on the first build.
• Run cmake.exe --build build --config Debug. If the build succeeds but is unable to write 'Castle.exe', make sure any existing Castle processes are terminated and try again. On WSL, sh kill_castle.sh under 'megasource/' works for terminating Castle processes.
• Run ./build/Debug/Castle.exe to launch the Castle binary that was built.
