• High-Speed Action: Fast bullet mechanics and fluid player movement.

How to Run on Linux

Prerequisites

Make sure your system has the following installed:

1. C++ Compiler & Make: e.g., g++ and make
2. SFML 3: The Simple and Fast Multimedia Library (version 3.x).
3. Git LFS: The game's image and font assets are stored using Git Large File Storage. You must install this to download the real assets!

1. Download the Assets (Important!)

If you just cloned the repository, your images and fonts might be small placeholder files. To download the actual graphics, run:

# On Arch Linux, for example:
sudo pacman -S git-lfs

# Inside the project folder:
git lfs install
git lfs pull

(If you skip this step, the game will crash when it tries to load the textures!)

2. Compile and Play

The easiest way to start the game is by using the provided runner script. From the root directory, simply execute:

./run.sh

This script will automatically invoke make to compile the source code into the rpg-game-linux executable and then safely launch the game with all asset paths resolving correctly.

Enjoy the game!
