Resultcat Run - a dumb runner game, but in C because Flash is even dumber
Resultcat runs on his own. Click your mouse or press return, space or the up arrow to jump. The escape key quits the game.
You need a C compiler that somewhat supports the C standard from 2011.
You also need the SDL 2, SDL_image 2 and SDL_ttf 2 libraries. They are usually available in your package manager, if your system has one of those.
See the Makefile for the incantation to compile the game with GCC-like compilers.
The game's levels are just PNG images in the assets directory. They consist of black pixels for solid blocks and white pixels for emptiness.
You can add levels simply by putting them in that folder and calling them
levelX.png, where X is some number between 0 and 127. The numbers do not
need to be consecutive. If you have a crazy amount of levels for some reason,
you can raise the maximum limit of 128 by changing the #define MAX_LEVELS in
the code and recompiling.
The level with the lowest number (level0.png by default) is special: it'll
always be the first level to be loaded when the game starts and will never
appear again. This is used to start you in a safe situation while the screen
fades in.
To test your own level without having to wait for it to be randomly picked,
just remove all levels aside from level0.png and yours from the assets
directory. Then the game will have no choice but to pick your level each time.
The collision detection is different from the Flash version, because the way it works there is just too funky. The difference in gameplay is relatively minor though.
