No-Brain Jogging

This is my entry for the Ludum Dare 41 game jam. The theme is: "Combine two Incompatible Genres".

My two genres are:

• 2D side-scrolling zombie shooter
• educational math game / brain jogging

In this game you solve math calculations to shoot your rifle and kill some zombies. Kill as many as you can before they eat your brains.

Build Instructions

This game is written completely in the Go programming language. Download and install it from here and follow the instructions to set up your GOPATH environment variable. If you have problems with that or want to know more about it, go here.

You also need git installed.

Windows Build

Run these commands to build and run the game on Windows:

go get -u github.com/gonutz/ld41
cd %GOPATH%\src\github.com\gonutz\ld41
build.bat
"No-Brain Jogging.exe"

This will create and run a statically linked executable containing all the resource data for the game. You can copy the file No-Brain Jogging.exe to any Windows machine from XP up and it will run there.

Linux Build

For the Linux build you need the following C libraries installed: libgl1-mesa-dev, libxrandr-dev, libxcursor-dev, libxinerama-dev, libxi-dev.

On Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint etc. do this:

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev libxrandr-dev libxcursor-dev libxinerama-dev libxi-dev

Run these commands to build and run the game on Linux:

go get -u github.com/gonutz/ld41
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/gonutz/ld41
./build.sh
