Cave Story Engine 2 (portable)

Cave Story Engine 2 is a decompilation of Cave Story.

This branch migrates the engine from WinAPI to SDL2, and addresses numerous portability issues, allowing it to run on other platforms.

Dependencies

• SDL2
• FLTK
• GLEW (if the OpenGL rendering backend is selected)

Building

Makefile

Note: this requires pkg-config

Run 'make' in this folder, preferably with some of the following settings:

• RELEASE=1 - Compile a release build (optimised, stripped, etc.)
• STATIC=1 - Produce a statically-linked executable (so you don't need to bundle DLL files)
• JAPANESE=1 - Enable the Japanese-language build (instead of the unofficial Aeon Genesis English translation)
• FIX_BUGS=1 - Fix bugs in the game (see src/Bug Fixes.txt)
• DEBUG_SAVE=1 - Re-enable the ability to drag-and-drop save files onto the window
• RENDERER=OpenGL3 - Use the hardware-accelerated OpenGL 3.2 renderer
• RENDERER=Texture - Use the hardware-accelerated SDL2 Texture API renderer (default)
• RENDERER=Surface - Use the software-rendered SDL2 Surface API renderer
• RENDERER=Software - Use a hand-written software renderer

Licensing

Being a decompilation, the majority of the code in this project belongs to Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya - not us. We've yet to agree on a license for our own code.
