tic80-boilerplate's Introduction

TIC-80 boilerplate

This project contains:

a very basic Entity Component System: libs/ecs.lua
a messaging system: libs/bus.lua
a state manager: libs/state.lua

Look at the spec directory for more details or look at the demo project there: https://github.com/pcornier/tic80-mini-platformer

Setup

First, edit Makefile and adjust these 3 parameters:

CART: the name of you cartridge
LINUX: the path to the TIC-80 directory if you are using Linux
ANDROID: the path to the TIC-80 directory if you are using Android

There's no WINDOWS parameter currently but feel free to fork the repo!

Then

run make data to extract data from the TIC-80 cartridge. You will need to install csplit, which is part of coreutils package.
run make to generate the cartridge with data. The generated cartridge will be copied to the TIC-80 directory.

On Android, I recommend the two apps Termux and DroidEdit. Termux will provide you with the two linux commands makeand csplit. DroidEdit is a nice little code editor that can connect Termux through ssh in order to trigger the make command remotely!

Create a sort of `makefile` for Windows

@ECHO OFF

IF "%~1" == "data" GOTO data

SET CART="cart.lua"
SET META="src\_meta.lua"
SET LIBS="src\libs\*.lua"
SET OBJS="src\objs\*.lua"
SET MAIN="src\main.lua"
SET TICPATH = %APPDATA%\com.nesbox.tic\TIC-80

IF EXIST %CART% DEL %CART%

FOR /f %%i IN ('dir /s/b %META%') DO @type "%%i" >> %CART%
FOR /f %%i IN ('dir /s/b %LIBS%') DO @type "%%i" >> %CART%
FOR /f %%i IN ('dir /s/b %OBJS%') DO @type "%%i" >> %CART%
@type %MAIN% >> %CART%
IF EXIST "xx01" @type "xx01" >> %CART%

GOTO end
