How to play

Two players face off with 7 pieces taking turns rolling the dice and progressing their pieces to the end of the paths.

First player is on the bottom, and top player is player 2.

Development

Linux

Ur is built with SFML and cmake. You will need to install SFML libraries and cmake utilities.

Then configure cmake:

cmake .
make

Windows

To build on windows you'll need to setup the SFML include path as SFML_DIR

then make sure to include all the DLLs needed when running. The ones required right now are:

• sfml-graphics-2.dll
• sfml-system-2.dll
• sfml-window-2.dll
• libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
• libstdc++-6.dll
• libwinpthread-1.dll

Additional SFML libs not used:

• sfml-audio-2.dll
• sfml-network-2.dll

On linux you can build the project for windows using mingw:

mkdir build-mingw
cd build-mingw
x86_64-w64-mingw-cmake -S ../ -B .
make

You can run your windows build via wine64 by bundling your dll and the res folder along side the exe.

Debug

To enable debug logging use the cmake flags:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
