My second ever finished game.

Block Fever

This project was my second completed game, made back in 2015. It's a simple game where you must contain a spreading infection whilst preventing as many blocks as possible from becoming permanently infected, the more blocks saved the higher the end score. A download for the game can be found over on itch.io, the game is also playable in browser on the same page.

Development

The game was developed in C++ using the SDL2 library. A port for web browsers was also recently developed using emscripten.

Building

Windows

Launch the build/win32/win32 shortcut to setup a command prompt in the right environment. The game can then be built by typing build in the console. Different types of builds can be made by specifying an extra argument after the initial build command, these arguments are:

debug   - builds a debug version of the game (default)
release - builds a release version of the game
final   - builds and packages a release version

In order to be able to execute builds Visual Studio must be installed. All other dependencies (SDL2, etc.) are provided within the repository.

Web

Launch the build/web/web shortcut to setup a command prompt in the right environment. The game can then be built by typing build in the console. Different types of builds can be made by specifying an extra argument after the initial build command, these arguments are:

release - builds a release version of the game (default)
final   - builds and packages a release version

In order to be able to execute builds emscripten must be installed. By default the build script looks for emscripten at the relative location ../../../.emsdk, in order to change this path open the 'build/web/setup.bat' file and change the emsdk_location variable.
