Sandfalling simulator in C
- Pre-build requirements
- Build and Run
- System requirements (minimum)
- Some resources license and appreciation
- Trademark notice
- Install dependencies:
cat requirements.txt |xargs sudo apt install - Get compilers for arm64 and amd64. If you're only gonna build only for your native system, at least you need to setup the mock compilers.
# ==== Build ARM (from x86-64 native) ====
# Get compilers for aarch64
sudo dpkg --add-architecture arm64 && sudo apt update
sudo apt install gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu g++-aarch64-linux-gnu
# IMPORTANT! Link mock compiler to native x86-64 compiler
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/x86-64-linux-gnu-gcc
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/x86-64-linux-gnu-g++# ==== Build x86-64 (from ARM native) ====
# Get compilers for x86-64
sudo dpkg --add-architecture amd64 && sudo apt update
sudo apt install gcc-x86-64-linux-gnu g++-x86-64-linux-gnu
# IMPORTANT! Link mock compiler to native aarch64 compiler
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-g++Note: The previous commands are for debian, you shall adecuate it to your distro requirements.
- Bake assets before building (or when they change):
./bake_assets.sh
- Make sure you installed mingw-w64 in the previous step
- Paste the following snippet to download the required libraries for mingw
mkdir mingw_libsSDL2 libs (prebuilt):
# SDL
wget -P mingw_libs https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases/download/release-2.26.5/SDL2-devel-2.26.5-mingw.tar.gz
# SDL_image
wget -P mingw_libs https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_image/releases/download/release-2.6.3/SDL2_image-devel-2.6.3-mingw.tar.gzBox2D libs (sadly, not prebuilt):
# Clone the Box2D repository
git clone -b 'v2.4.1' --single-branch --depth 1 https://github.com/erincatto/box2d mingw_libs/box2d
mkdir mingw_libs/box2d/build_mingw
cd mingw_libs/box2d/build_mingw
cmake -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Windows -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DBOX2D_BUILD_UNIT_TESTS=OFF -DBOX2D_BUILD_DOCS=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(pwd)/../install_mingw ..
make -j$(nproc)
make install
cd ../../..- Extract the libraries in mingw_libs
for a in mingw_libs/*.tar.gz; do tar zxvf $a -C mingw_libs; done
rm mingw_libs/*.tar.gz- NOTE: In order to play it, you need to run CPack to gather all the DLLs and other resources.
- You can use vscode extension for CMake for configure/build/pack. (This is what I use because it's comfortable).
- If you want to build from console, select a preset from
CMakePresets.jsonas follows:
cmake --preset linux-release-x86_64 # Select preset
cmake --build build/linux-x86_64/release # Build it
cpack --preset linux-release-x86_64 # Pack it for distributionNOTE: For windows, you can test with
find dist -name sandsaga.exe |xargs wine.
The following table repesents the worst hardware where the game has been tested to work at ~60 FPS stable.

|---|---|---|---|
| Processor | Intel Core i3 4130 | Intel Core i3 4130 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200 | Rockchip RK3588 |
| Memory | 4 GB RAM | 4 GB RAM | 4 GB RAM |
