A metroidvania with vector graphics

Azimuth

Azimuth is a metroidvania game, with vector graphics. You can build it from source here, or download binaries at https://mdsteele.games/azimuth/download

Azimuth is inspired by such games as the Metroid series (particularly Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion), SketchFighter 4000 Alpha, and Star Control II (a.k.a. The Ur-Quan Masters) -- all fine games that are well worth your time.

Build instructions

Prerequisites

Azimuth depends on OpenGL and on SDL 1.2. On Mac, you can install SDL 1.2 either in Framework form or via e.g. MacPorts, and the Makefile should be able to sort it out. On Debian, all it should take is:

$ sudo apt-get install libgl-mesa-dev libsdl1.2-dev

Building and running

To build and run a debug build of the game, run:

$ make       # Compiles everything.
$ make test  # Runs unit tests, to make sure things look okay on your system.
$ make run   # Starts the game.

To build and install a packaged app on Mac OS X, run:

$ BUILDTYPE=release make macosx_app
$ mv -i out/release/host/Azimuth.app /Applications/
$ open /Applications/Azimuth.app

To build and install a packaged app on Debian, run:

$ BUILDTYPE=release make linux_deb
$ sudo dpkg -i out/release/host/azimuth_*.deb
$ azimuth
