Blinkensisters is a 2D scrolling game engine that features a Parallax style.
Blinkensisters is a fantastic gaming system that runs on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, and POSIX-compatible Unix systems. It uses a Parallax-style 2D scrolling mechanism, making it a great choice for gamers of all levels. You'll find that it's easy to create your own levels with this software, thanks to the simple text editor that comes with it.
Installing Blinkensisters is straightforward, as long as you have the necessary libraries and packages. While it currently doesn't have a GNU autoconf/automake based build system, compiling the source is a breeze. All you have to do is execute the following commands: `tar xvzf blinkensisters-VERSION.tar.gz`, `cd blinkensisters-VERSION`, `make`, and `make install`. This will compile and install the software in `/usr/local/bin`, as well as install the necessary data-files in `/usr/local/share/blinkensisters`.
Keep in mind that you'll need root-permissions to install the game to `/usr/local/...`. But if you don't have those permissions or if you'd rather install it in another path for some reason, you can define a PREFIX Variable. For instance, executing `make PREFIX=$HOME` and `make install PREFIX=$HOME` will install Blinkensisters inside your home directory at `$HOME/bin/blinkensisters`. You may have to edit the Makefile to get it to work on certain Unix platforms or if you're compiling on a 64Bit system.
Before you get started, make sure that you have the necessary libraries and packages installed. This includes a C++ compiler, GNU Make, libSDL, libSDL_mixer, libSDL_image, and xutils, among others. We've tested and successfully built the software on various Unices including Suse Linux (9.2, 9.3), Debian GNU/Linux 3.1, Solaris 8, SGI IRIX, and the Cygwin environment in Windows.
Overall, we found Blinkensisters to be a superb gaming system that's perfect for gamers of all levels. With its simple text editor, Parallax-style 2D scrolling mechanism, and ease of installation, we highly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent gaming experience.
