Prerequisites

This project depends on three external components:

Tilengine

http://www.tilengine.org

Python binding and Windows 64-bit dll are already included. If you're using another platform, please install it from github and follow its instructions.

SDL2 and SDL2_Mixer

https://www.libsdl.org/

SDL2 (Simple DirectMedia Layer) is an open-source, cross-platform library for managing windows, user input, graphics and sound. Both tilengine and this project use SDL2 internally. You must install the runtime binaries into your system.

Windows and OSX:

Download prebuilt binaries here:

https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php

https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/

Debian-based linux:

Open a terminal window and install directly from package manager:

sudo apt install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev

SDL2 python binding

http://pysdl2.readthedocs.io

You must also install the binding for using SDL2 from python language. From a terminal window type the following command:

pip install pysdl2
