An application to showcase and execute Splashkit games

Pre-requisites (all operating systems)

• Install the SplashKit SDK using the guide

Pre-requisites (mingw32 / Windows)

• Install make using pacman -S make

Building arcade machine (using the Makefile)

Compiling Arcade Machine using the Makefile allows incremental building of changed objects.

cd arcade-machine
make
./ArcadeMachine

Subsequent builds (as you change code) can be completed by using just make. If you need to run a clean build again, you can use make clean first proceeded by make.

Building arcade machine (manually)

• Compile the application with the command skm clang++ src/* -Iinclude -lstdc++fs -o test
• Run the application ./test

arcade-machine's Issues

Game window losing focus

Issue

Games launched from the Arcade Machine Application lose focus if any input is given before the game opens.

Consequence

This is a major issue, impacting the future of the project where the application will be deployed to a machine with limited controls, the users may be unable to access the game once it falls into the background.
