Quarto-RPI

Quarto Game to be played on a Joy-IT raspberry case, utilizing the SBC-ButtonMatrix.

Compiling

The project needs a few requirements to work properly. It was designed to use cross-compiling on a personnal computer. Thus you need to cross-compile these requirements to be able to build Quarto-RPI:

• wiringPi
• ncurses
• cdk
• SDL2
• SDL2_ttf (along with freetype, libpng, and zlib)

These should be placed under the folder ./lib/rpi but you can place them anywhere, as long as you define the <LIBNAME>_RPI variables in the Makefile. Beware also of the name of the libraries, considering they will be used in the assets/run.sh script to locate the libraries.

You also need to define the following environment variables:

• RPI_COMPILER=/path/to/cross-compiler to cross-compile
• RPI_ADDRESS=<login>@<ipadress> to send automatically the built files

Note: you can also use a standard compiler, if you need to test UI related code on your computer.

A few Makefile commands:

• make compiles the whole project
• make run compiles the PC project (without wiringPi and GPIO support), and runs the application on the PC
• make deploy compiles the RPI project, sends it to the raspberry, and runs the application on the RPI
• make deploy-here does the same as above, but the UI is displayed on the PC (unstable)
• make deploy-lib sends the libraries and run.sh to the RPI
• make clean to clean the project. (This will not delete the RPI libraries)

Note: the first deployement usually takes a while considering that all the libraries need to be sent to the RPI.

Using the GPIOs only

Use the command

sudo dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/overlays/breadboard.dtbo ./assets/breadboard.dts

and restart to use a new input device. Each arrow GPIO will be mapped to a key on the keyboard.

Demo

🚧 Work in progress 🚧

Note

This repository and its files are currently very barebones. It is a simple student project. This is all just made for fun and nothing too serious.
