Break_it_all

I am learning a little bit about OpenGL and this is a repository to put in practice my knowledge. I am trying to create a simple brick breaking game.

You can build a Android version using Android Studio or a desktop version building it using CMake on Linux.

Run it on Linux

Linux Dependencies

• java # to run gradle wrapper
• g++
• cmake
• libglfw3-dev
• libgles2-mesa-dev
• xorg-dev
• adb
• Android sdk version 30
• Android Studio # to download the SDK, still don't know how to make gradle download it before the build

Build in Linux

1. First you need to have the Android sdk install somewhere.
2. Then clone the project.
3. Now manualy create a local.properties file in the root of the project with the Android sdk directory like this: sdk.dir=/home/<User>/Android/Sdk, NOTE: replace with your username.
4. Finally you can run the build script build-linux.sh to build and run the app.

git clone https://github.com/simonppg/Break_it_all.git ~/Break_it_all
cd Break_it_all
touch local.properties
echo "sdk.dir=/home/<User>/Android/Sdk" >> local.properties
./build-linux.sh

"""Features available so far"""

If everything when well, the app should start running, and a new window will show a "sandbox scene".

• Handle window resize.
• Cursor position change detection.
• Key press detections only for ESC, W, A, S, D and L keys.
• Touchscreen detection (Android only).

Recompile app

After running the build script build-linux.sh you should have a Break_it_all/linux-build directory, there you can run make commands. So you can recompile again without waiting for cmake configurations.

cd Break_it_all/linux-build
make run

Run it on Android

From terminal

This commands would build and run the app on your Android phone and then show the logcat on the console.

./gradlew run

or if you want to change the filters, connect to you phone running a shell session using adb and then run logcat with different options.

./gradlew runApp
adb shell
logcat libNative:I *:S

Other useful gradle tasks:

./gradlew installDebug
./gradlew runApp
./gradlew clearLogcat
./gradlew run

From Android Studio

If non of that works, you still can build with Android studio.

Android studio dependencies

• Android studio of course.
• cmake
• Android sdk version 30
• Android ndk

You can install Android studio with this commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-fonville/android-studio
sudo apt update
sudo apt install android-studio

Then just click on the run button I guess 🙈.
