GoCastle

Introduction

This project is my journey to creating a graphical game while learning Golang

Every session, I'll add an entry in this file telling what I did and what I learned (see developpement_diary/)

sudo apt-get install golang gcc libgl1-mesa-dev xorg-dev

Also, for building releases, you need goreleaser and fyne-cross

go install github.com/fyne-io/fyne-cross@latest

For the development, you need to install Golangci-lint

Contributions are welcome but I need you to follow a few rules:

the primary goal of this project is for me to learn Go while having fun (game dev is so much fun). Keep that in mind when asking / proposing modifications.
since I'm a beginner, my code quality can be improved and I've a lot to learn. Fixing my code where it's badly written or helping me learn better patterns is greatly appreciated, but please add a little context/explaination so I can grow from your contributions. See developpement_diary/ folder.
most of the future work for the game is written in the Issues of this project. You look at them and ask me if you can take those!
- issues labelled "game design" are by default reserved to me (@zwindler) since this needs not only code but also thinking about how the game will work.
- issues labelled "good first issues" are self explainatory ;-).
- issues labelled "on hold" as well.
- issues labelled "refactoring" need to be discussed first. I openned a Discord server for this, please ask me the details.

Most importantly, have fun!

Build only

make build

Build and run (useful in dev)

make buildrun

Release (using goreleaser)

git tag -a 0.0.1 -m "0.0.1 release"
goreleaser --clean

Test release (against code not tagged)

goreleaser --snapshot --clean

Note: for darwin compilation, we need fyne-cross which requires having locally the XCode SDK, especially Command_Line_Tools_for_Xcode_12.4.dmg. Download it here. See fyne-cross documentation for more information.
