Hey everyone,

long time no post from me. I have recently nearly-finished my lil side project of a blog. To add life to it, I wrote an article about a mini game that I did a while ago explaining impl aspects and how everything plays together. Source code avail of course. Would be happy if it's of help for beginners.

Blog Post

Cheers,
p.

@mod, please move if wrong forum, thanks

Okey dokey should show up as soon as all the browser and webserver caches can be persuaded. If you want any changes in text or image just PM me!

Well I think I want to download it instead of compiling.

ah, easy then. what's your distro? I'll get you an archlinux compile meanwhile. if you have irrlicht/cAudio installed, you should be able to compile it in no time.

I use Ubuntu 18.04. But I think you should make a release for people to try the project quickly.
It entertains more so people can get excited to deep dive into your post.

Done. Find the precompiled version in the article.
@AReichl: where are you stuck? what's your OS? I use the current version referenced at the very bottom of the article.
