My 2nd game: A 2D side-scroller inspired by Romeo & Juliet; it uses C++ & SFML.

The Love of Romeo

A simple C++ SFML game.

This game is an English class project from highschool, completed on 2019/09/30. It is based upon the Shakespeare play, Romeo & Juliet. Its only library dependency is SFML.

Special thank-you to Tony Sangwin for game art and inspiration.

Install on Windows

• Install 7-Zip.
• Install Git Bash; make sure to choose "Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt" during installation. This should result in a MINGW64 Bash installation that can access your Windows PATH while having access to Linux commands (ie. the find command).
• Clone this repository to a directory on your computer. That directory will be referred to as root.
• Create directory root/lib.
• Install SFML. In the directory root/lib, download and unzip the latest stable release of GCC XX.X.X MinGW (SEH) - 64-bit.
• Note the required GCC version of SFML you downloaded.
• Install GCC. In the directory C:\, download and unzip the required SFML version of MinGW x86_64-XX.X.X-release-win32-seh-msvcrt-rt_vXX-revX.7z; the location of g++.exe should be C:\mingw64\bin\g++.exe.
• Add C:\mingw64\bin to the Windows Environment Variable PATH.
• Install Make for Windows; the location of make.exe should be C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\make.exe.
• Add C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\ to the Windows Environment Variable PATH.

From here, everything should be installed to compile & run this software. Note that the Makefile assumes you want to build this with x86_64 SFML.

Install on Arch Linux

• Clone this repository to a directory on your computer. That directory will be referred to as root.
• Install sfml.

From here, everything should be installed to compile & run this software. Isn't Linux great?
