Good day ...

The program doesn't finish the compilation, because I can't find the SDL2 [Maybe] library (which I have in its version 2.0.9), the problem is probably due in part to me, since I have compiled both SDL and SDL2, so the program [probably] won't be able to determine exactly which library to use.

Thanks ....

Hi - I opened a pull request to fix compile errors with the latest gcc/libstdc++ v13.
Just opening an issue as well in case you didn't see it.
Thanks!

Suggestions for improving your current Makefiles (1 small, 1 big):

1. Make sure to use '.PHONY' for all Makefile targets that aren't actual files
2. Object file dependencies are only being created once by build/build.sh with makedepend - no reason you can't change your Makefile to automatically regenerate file dependency info (and also remove need for makedepend).

Here's a sample makefile I created to replace the one generated in src/ (forgive the weird formatting):
COMPILER_FLAGS = -I/usr/include/SDL2 -I/usr/include/python3.9 -DMYVER=\"0.0.4\" -DPYVER=\"3.9\" -O3
CLANG_COMPILER_WARNINGS = -Wall -std=c++2a
GCC_COMPILER_WARNINGS = -x c++ -Wall -std=c++2a

LDFLAGS = -rdynamic
COMPILER_WARNINGS = $(CLANG_COMPILER_WARNINGS)
CC = clang++

EXE =
DSYM =
LDLIBS = -pthread -lSDL2 -lSDL2_mixer -lSDL2_ttf -L/usr/lib64 -lpython3.9 -lcrypt -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -lm -lGL
CFLAGS = $(COMPILER_FLAGS) $(COMPILER_WARNINGS)

NAME = zorbash-game
OBJDIR = .build

TARGET_GAME = $(NAME)$(EXE)
.PHONY: all
all: $(TARGET_GAME)

GAME_SOURCE := $(wildcard *.cpp) $(wildcard *.S)
GAME_OBJECTS :=\
$(addprefix $(OBJDIR)/,$(addsuffix .o,$(basename $(GAME_SOURCE))))

DEP_FILES := $(patsubst %.o,%.d,$(GAME_OBJECTS))
DEP_FLAGS = -MMD -MP

$(OBJDIR): ; mkdir -p $(OBJDIR)
$(GAME_OBJECTS): | $(OBJDIR)

$(OBJDIR)/%.o: %.cpp
<tab>$(CC) $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(DEP_FLAGS) -c -o $@ $<

$(OBJDIR)/%.o: %.S
<tab>$(CC) $(DEP_FLAGS) -c -o $@ $<

# link
$(TARGET_GAME): $(GAME_OBJECTS)
<tab>$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $(GAME_OBJECTS) $(LDLIBS) -o $@

# format/clean/clobber
.PHONY: format clean clobber

format:
<tab>clang-format -i *cpp *hpp

clean:
<tab>rm -f ../$(TARGET_GAME) ../stdout.txt ../stderr.txt
<tab>rm -f $(TARGET_GAME) stdout.txt stderr.txt
<tab>rm -rf $(OBJDIR)

clobber: clean
<tab>rm -rf $(OBJDIR)
<tab>mkdir -p $(OBJDIR)

# delete corresponding object file if dependency file needs regeneration
$(OBJDIR)/%.d: ; @rm -f "$(@:.d=.o)"

# include all dependency files
-include $(DEP_FILES)

Change summary:

1. 'GAME_SOURCE' is defined to contain all your source files (set by wildcard, but it could be a list of files if you don't want to build everything in src/). object files are never listed directly.
2. GAME_OBJECTS created from GAME_SOURCE
3. DEP_FILES defined to hold a list of all generated dependency files (.d)
4. DEP_FLAGS has compiler flags needed to make g++/clang++ generate a dependency file for each source file while compiling
5. set up makefile targets/dependency to create OBJDIR directory when needed - it doesn't need to be created by clean/clobber any more
6. %.cpp/%.S source file compile rules changed to include DEP_FLAGS
7. when makefile starts up, it tires to include dependency files for all source files. If any are missing or out-of-date, corresponding objects files are deleted to trigger the creation of new dependency files

Are you accepting pull requests? I have some fixes for compile errors & warnings I found when I upgraded to gcc 12 (which includes libstdc++)

Hello - I found your project while doing a search for C++ roguelikes. Seems very interesting!
Anyways, I managed to build it on my Fedora 34 system but I did run into a few small issues:

1. The root Makefile couldn't find 'RUNME' (the current directory isn't normally in the search path for most systems). A quick edit of the Makefile to change it to './RUNME' fixed this problem.
2. You seem to be running clang-format on the source as part of the build process. This caused a lot of files to be changed and made pulling new changes impossible without doing a 'git restore' first. Seems like it would be better to do clang-format as part of your check-in process (maybe with a new makefile target that could be run manually.)

Hey Richard, how about add one more line in readme to brief hardware spec for this game? James

I upgraded my system to Fedora 35 and its newer python version uncovered some minor issues.

1. build/build.sh creates these files so they should be removed from source control:
   • build/windows/python.version.sh
   • build/windows/windows.xml
2. .gitignore has the wrong path for these files as well. These .gitignore changes are needed:
   • windows/python.version.sh -> build/windows/python.version.sh
   • windows/windows.xml -> build/windows/windows.xml

I recently upgraded to Fedora 37 (which includes python 3.11) and now get the following compile warnings & errors:
