Small SDL and Old OpenGL snake game!

The game is packaged for the most popular linux gaming distributions: MacOS and Gentoo.

MacOS

brew tap pkulev/homebrew-riru
brew install glsnake

Gentoo

sudo eselect repository enable riru
sudo emaint sync -r riru
sudo emerge -av glsnake

• SDL2
• SDL2_ttf
• SDL2_mixer (with Vorbis support for .ogg music)
• Legacy OpenGL 2.1+ (fixed-function pipeline)
• pkg-config
• Meson

$ meson setup build       # Once, add --wipe if needed to remake build dir.
$ meson compile -C build  # Compile and link.
$ build/snake             # Run the game!

Native Windows builds use Meson + MSVC (cl.exe) + Ninja + vcpkg, no need to open Visual Studio!

You will need those things (use winget, choco or scoop, they help):

Dependencies are declared in vcpkg.json.

# Install vcpkg dependencies (the environment will be prepared in vcpkg_installed/ directory)
vcpkg install --triplet x64-windows

# Meson reads pkg-config files from ./vcpkg_installed/x64-windows/lib/pkgconfig (that's awesome!)
meson setup build --backend ninja --vsenv -Dbuildtype=release

# Compile and link
meson compile -C build

Building the release version (-Dbuildtype=release) is required to get working binary, because with debug build the binary will be linked against debug versions of SDL2 libraries with d suffix (e.g. SDL2_mixerd.dll). If debugging on Windows is what you need right now - I hope you're holding there, buddy.
