Aim

To create a simple, portable 3-D First Person Shooter game.

Requirements

• SDL-1.2.3 or higher.
• SDL_mxer & SDL_image 1.2.
• Open/Mesa GL 1.2 or higher.
• GL Utility lib.
• libglText.
• gcc, make and related utilities for compilation.

The Game

The aim is to shoot down as many 'drones' as you can in the arena you play in. If the number or living drones exceeds 10, you lose. The drones appear at random places at regular intervals. Colliding with a drone also ends your life.

The arena is enclosed by walls and you start at its center. You have got limited number of bullets to kill the drones. You can replenish your ammo by picking up ammo packets that appear as yellow spheres with stripes.

The bottom of the screen shows you the game statistics.

Configuration

The game expects a config file named .nmaFPS in the users home directory. If that file doesnt exist, it uses a system-wide config file located in '/usr/local/share/nmaFPS/conf'. Currently, the following options are supported.

Option name	Description	Allowed values
WINHEIGHT	Window height	Numeric values.
WINWIDTH	Window width	Numeric values.
FULLSCREEN	To go fullscreen or not	1 or 0
STARTLEVEL	The level to start with.	Number
TEXTUREDIR	Name of texture images directory	String
SOUND	Enable sound.	1 or 0
DIFFICULTY	Difficulty setting	1 : Hard, 2 : Normal, 3 : Easy

A sample config file is provided with the game.

TODO

1. Better physics for movement.

Credits

• Credits should go to the libSDL team for providing such a great library for game programming.
