Taisei
Introduction
Taisei is an open clone of the Tōhō Project series. Tōhō is a one-man project of shoot-em-up games set in an isolated world full of Japanese folklore.
Installation
Dependencies:
- SDL2, SDL2_ttf, SDL2_mixer
- libpng
- zlib
- OpenGL
- CMake (build system)
- pkg-config (build dependency)
To build and install Taisei just follow these steps.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$yourprefix ..
make
make install
This will install game data to $prefix/share/taisei/ and build this path
statically into the executable. This might be a package maintainer’s choice.
Alternatively you may want to add -DRELATIVE=TRUE to get a relative structure
like
$prefix/taisei
$prefix/data/
($prefix/config)
RELATIVE is always set when building for Windows.
NOTE ABOUT REPLAYS
As of version 1.0 replays are not guaranteed to work between different operating systems or architectures (or compiler versions). Screen capture your replays if you really want to publish them.
NOTE ABOUT BACKGROUND MUSIC
Currently Taisei does not include any background music. To use this feature,
you should have required audio files in bgm/ subdirectory.
BGM (as well as SFX) may be in .wav, .flac, or .ogg format; additionally
you may try another formats such as .mp3, .aiff, .mod, .xm, etc. if
your build of SDL2_mixer supports these formats.
Complete music pack consists of 16 bgm_*.(ogg/wav/flac) files, where ‘*’ means:
credits BGM for credits screen
ending BGM for ending
gameover BGM for game over screen
menu BGM for menus (excluding in-game menu which pauses BGM)
stageN N=1..6, standard stage theme
stageNboss N=1..6, boss theme for a stage
If you want to specify stage/boss theme names to be shown during gameplay, you
may do it by editing the bgm/bgm.conf file.
Sound problems
If your sound becomes glitchy, and you encounter lot of console messages like:
ALSA lib pcm.c:7234:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred,
it seems like you possibly have broken ALSA configuration.
This may be fixed by playing with parameter values of pcm.dmixer.slave option
group in /etc/asound.conf or wherever you have your ALSA configuration.
Commenting period_time, period_size, buffer_size, rate may give you
the first approach to what to do.
