This is the main (multiplayer) branch of byld_SDL!

About

byld_SDL is a game that was inspired from ClassiCube (a 3d building game). It is easily moddable, multiplayer and easy to play (only on linux).
The whole game is divided into 3 pieces:

• The server - it stores the entire world, handles saving, does the communication between players. It has very little logic. There is no chat present, because you can just use external programs like signal or matrix.


• The client - the main of the three. It does most of the logic, also contains a LOCAL version of the world (in memory of course) It's also the thing that you will probably see the most.


• The launcher - the simplest of the three: it just launches your game. It only supports linux, and I will probably keep it that way.[2]

All of the above are coded in the C programming language.

Currently, the first player on the server (that it still connected) is considered the admin. Only the admin can close the server.

Footnotes:

[2]That's because the launcher is VERY simple, it is just a wrapper around the shell. Basically it gives you a GUI, to choose some variables. After the variables are set you can press the "play with settings" button. It will then compute GNU/LINUX command(s) to run the game.
Something like:

Play	true
Host	true
LOCALHOST FORCED WITH PLAY & HOST
Port	8192
Player Limit	16
World file	world

This would compute two commands (because Play & Host are true):

Which is then called by system()
