Only unscaled glyph bitmaps are now cached in regular memory. Scaled glyphs are stored as textures on the GPU. Only the alpha channel on glyph textures is used, with the color being provided as an input to the shader. Outline and bold rendering is improved by using a simple dilate shader. This looks okay but could be improved (the result is a bit blurry still).
xsystem4
xsystem4 is an implementation of AliceSoft's System 4 game engine for unix-like operating systems.
Compatiblity
See the game compatibility table for a list of games that can be played on xsystem4.
Building
First install the dependencies (corresponding Debian package in parentheses):
- chibi-scheme [optional, for debugger]
- bison (bison)
- cglm (libcglm-dev) [optional, fetched by meson if not available]
- flex (flex)
- glew (libglew-dev)
- meson (meson)
- libffi (libffi-dev)
- libpng (libpng-dev)
- libsndfile (libsndfile-dev)
- libturbojpeg (libturbojpeg0-dev)
- libwebp (libwebp-dev)
- SDL2 (libsdl2-dev)
- SDL2_ttf (libsdl2-ttf-dev)
- zlib (zlib1g-dev)
Then fetch the git submodules,
git submodule init
git submodule update
(Alternatively, pass --recurse-submodules when cloning this repository)
Then build the xsystem4 executable with meson,
mkdir build
meson build
ninja -C build
Finally install it to your system (optional),
ninja -C build install
Running
You can run a game by passing the path to its game directory to the xsystem4 executable,
build/src/xsystem4 /path/to/game_directory
Alternatively, run xsystem4 from within the game directory,
cd /path/to/game_directory
xsystem4
