I’m not going to be able to finish.
I tried, but I just can’t get anything going quick enough. I struggled with file I/O so much it wasn’t even funny. I am half convinced that something is broken in the libraries. I’m just going too slow to finish something. It is a shame since it is my favorite theme in a long time.
On the plus side besides learning just how weak my C++ skills have become, I did learn a little something about SDL_ttf. Not much but enough to write a string to the screen, and found some free fonts I could have redistributed with my game.
I spent too much time downloading updated libraries on my slow slow connection. I never did get boost to download. I also spent too much time trying to make my code cross-platform. Even though I have nothing to test whether it was actually cross-platform or not. However, so the whole thing isn’t a waste, I have included a screen capture below. Better luck next time I guess.
Oh, I tired out the compo game loader. It is really cool.
