Use raylib to reimplement my childhood favorite game, play with my kids, they love it:)

Make sure to enable the audio to feel the amazing sound effects:)

Free feel to change the default settings in src/config.h.

Some settings you might care about when playing the game:

//
// Player settings
//
#define PLAYER_1_UP_KEY KEY_E
#define PLAYER_1_DOWN_KEY KEY_D
#define PLAYER_2_UP_KEY KEY_K
#define PLAYER_2_DOWN_KEY KEY_J

//
// Ball UI settings
//
// How many hits before increasing the ball velocity
#define BALL_UI_HITS_BEFORE_INCREASE_VELOCITY 2
// How many velocities increase to enable a fireball
#define BALL_UI_VELOCITIES_INCREASE_TO_ENABLE_FIREBALL 4
// How many velocities increase to enable a lightning ball
#define BALL_UI_VELOCITIES_INCREASE_TO_ENABLE_LIGHTNING_BALL 6
// Velocity acceleration
#define BALL_UI_VELOCITY_ACCELERATION 100

This project uses my cbuild as simple building system, that's why you don't need any extra stuff like make/gmake/cmake.

You just need the C compile (e.g. cc/gcc/clang/zig cc) and raylib.

• How to install raylib ?

  MacOS

  Windows

  Linux

  Or visit their WIKI

  
  

• Open cbuild.c and replace EXTRA_COMPILE_FLAGS and EXTRA_LINK_FLAGS settings

  The default setting is for installing raylib over brew install raylib on MacOS. You need to change to yours if you're running on a different OS or use a different way to install raylib.

  For example, if you use brew and you got pkg-config installed, then you should run the following commands to print out the compile C flags and linking settings:

  # Settings for`EXTRA_COMPILE_FLAGS`
  pkg-config --cflags raylib
  # -I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/raylib/4.5.0/include
  
  # Settings for `EXTRA_LINK_FLAGS`
  pkg-config --libs raylib
  # -L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/raylib/4.5.0/lib -lraylib

  Use the above printout value to replace the default settings of EXTRA_COMPILE_FLAGS and EXTRA_LINK_FLAGS if that's not the same:

  // MacOS
  #define EXTRA_COMPILE_FLAGS "-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/raylib/4.5.0/include"
  #define EXTRA_LINK_FLAGS "-L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/raylib/4.5.0/lib", "-lraylib"
  
  // Arch Linux
  // #define EXTRA_COMPILE_FLAGS "-I/usr/local/Cellar/raylib/4.2.0/include"
  // #define EXTRA_LINK_FLAGS "-L/usr/local/Cellar/raylib/4.2.0/lib", "-lraylib"
  
  // FreeBSD
  // #define EXTRA_COMPILE_FLAGS "-I/usr/local/include", "-D_THREAD_SAFE", "-pthread"
  // #define EXTRA_LINK_FLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib", "-lraylib"

  
  

• Then build and run it

  # Custom player name and use stand ball radius (`30.0f`)
  PLAYER_1_NAME=Dad PLAYER_2_NAME=Mom ./run.sh
  
  # Use bigger ball for beginner level
  BALL_RADIUS=60.0 PLAYER_1_NAME='Ball game killer' PLAYER_2_NAME='Blow your mind' ./run.sh

  
  

  If you don't provide the above env vars, it uses the default settings:

  PLAYER_1_NAME=Player 1
  PLAYER_2_NAME=Player 2

  
  

  

  
  

• Dynamic link to raylib

  #
  # Use `(pkg-config --libs --cflags raylib)` to print out the C flags
  #
  clang -I/usr/local/Cellar/raylib/4.2.0/include \
      -L/usr/local/Cellar/raylib/4.2.0/lib \
      -lraylib \
      -o temp_build/my-game \
      src/utils.c \
      src/table.c \
      src/scoreboard.c \
      src/player.c \
      src/game.c \
      src/ball.c \
      src/main.c

  Confirm that's a dynamic link:

  otool -L temp_build/my-game
  
  # temp_build/my-game:
  #         /opt/homebrew/opt/raylib/lib/libraylib.420.dylib (compatibility version 420.0.0, current version 4.2.0)
  #         /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1319.0.0)

  
  

• Static link to raylib

  First thing first, you have to delete the dynamic lib, as -lraylib will link to dynamic lib even if the static libraylib.a exists!!!

  rm -rf /opt/homebrew/Cellar/raylib/4.5.0/lib/libraylib.420.dylib
  rm -rf /opt/homebrew/Cellar/raylib/4.5.0/lib/libraylib.dylib

  So, it should look like this (only static library exists):

  ls -lht /opt/homebrew/opt/raylib/lib/
  
  # pkgconfig/
  # cmake/
  # libraylib.a
  
  ls -lht /opt/homebrew/Cellar/raylib/4.5.0/lib
  
  # pkgconfig/
  # cmake/
  # libraylib.a

  
  

  Now, clang will link to libraylib.a:

  clang -I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/raylib/4.5.0/include \
      -L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/raylib/4.5.0/lib \
      -lraylib \
      -framework Cocoa \
      -framework OpenGL \
      -framework IOKit \
      -o temp_build/my-game-static \
      src/utils.c \
      src/table.c \
      src/scoreboard.c \
      src/player.c \
      src/game.c \
      src/ball.c \
      src/main.c

  After that, run otool again to confirm that NO any link to raylib

  otool -L temp_build/my-game-static

• Install Emscripten

  • MacOS

    brew install emscripten

  • Other OS

  Emscripten download and install

  
  

• Build WASM version

  ./build_wasm.sh

  

  
  

• How to run wasm version

  If you gointo the wasm_build folder, it should contain the following files:

   92K Mar 29 16:38 game.html
  192K Mar 29 16:38 game.js
  388K Mar 29 16:38 game.wasm*
  2.5M Mar 29 16:38 game.data

  
  

  You can install any HTTP server program to serve that folder, for example:

  # For MacOS
  brew install http-server

  Then serve the folder:

  http-server ./
  
  # Starting up http-server, serving ./
  
  # http-server version: 14.1.1
  
  # http-server settings:
  # CORS: disabled
  # Cache: 3600 seconds
  # Connection Timeout: 120 seconds
  # Directory Listings: visible
  # AutoIndex: visible
  # Serve GZIP Files: false
  # Serve Brotli Files: false
  # Default File Extension: none
  
  # Available on:
  #   http://127.0.0.1:8080
  #   http://192.168.1.188:8080
  # Hit CTRL-C to stop the server

  
  

  Open that url in browser then you're good to go:)

  

  
  

This project has already included a build.zig file, if you have Zig install, then just run:

zig build run
