This fixes the draw order by drawing all other entities first, before
then drawing all humanoids[1] after, including the player afterwards.
This is actually a regression fix from #191. When I was testing this, I
was thinking about where get a crewmate in front of another entity in
the main game, other than the checkpoints in Intermission 1. And then I
thought about the teleporters, because I remember the pre-Deep Space
cutscene in Dimension Open looking funny because Vita ended up being
behind the teleporter. (Actually, a lot of the cutscenes of Dimension
Open look funny because of crewmates standing behind terminals.)
So then I tried to get crewmates in front of teleporters. It actually
turns out that you can't do it for most of them... except for Verdigris.
And then that's what I realized why there was an oddity in WarpClass.cpp
when I was removing the `active` system from the game - for some reason,
the game put a hole in `obj.entities` between the teleporter and the
player when loading the room Murdering Twinmaker. In a violation of
Chesterton's Fence (the principle that you should understand something
before removing it), I shrugged it off and decided "there's no way to
support having holes with my new system, and having holes is probably
bad anyway, so I'm going to remove this and move on". The fact that
there wasn't any comments clarifying the mysterious code didn't help
(but, this *was* 2.2 code after all; have you *seen* 2.2 code?!).
And it turns out that this maneuver was done so Verdigris would fill
that hole when he got created, and Verdigris being first before the
teleporter would mean he would be drawn in front of the teleporter,
instead of being behind it. So ever since

How to Build
VVVVVV's official desktop versions are built with the following environments:
- Windows: Visual Studio 2010
- macOS: Xcode CLT, currently targeting 10.9 SDK
- GNU/Linux: CentOS 7
The engine depends solely on SDL2 and SDL2_mixer. All other dependencies are statically linked into the engine. The development libraries for Windows can be downloaded from their respective websites, Linux developers can find the dev libraries from their respective repositories, and macOS developers should compile and install from source (including libogg/libvorbis/libvorbisfile).
Steamworks support is included and the DLL is loaded dynamically, you do not need the SDK headers and there is no special Steam or non-Steam version. The current implementation has been tested with Steamworks SDK v1.46.
To generate the projects on Windows:
# Put your SDL2/SDL2_mixer folders somewhere nice!
mkdir flibitBuild
cd flibitBuild
cmake -G "Visual Studio 10 2010" .. -DSDL2_INCLUDE_DIRS="C:\SDL2-2.0.10\include;C:\SDL2_mixer-2.0.4\include" -DSDL2_LIBRARIES="C:\SDL2-2.0.10\lib\x86\SDL2;C:\SDL2-2.0.10\lib\x86\SDL2main;C:\SDL2_mixer-2.0.4\lib\x86\SDL2_mixer"
Note that on some systems, the SDL2_LIBRARIES list on Windows may need
SDL2/SDL2main/SDL2_mixer to have .lib at the end of them. The reason for this
inconsistency is unknown.
To generate everywhere else:
mkdir flibitBuild
cd flibitBuild
cmake ..
macOS may be fussy about the SDK version. How to fix this is up to the whims of however Apple wants to make CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT annoying to configure and retain each time Xcode updates.
Including data.zip
You'll need the data.zip file from VVVVVV to actually run the game! It's available to download separately for free in the Make and Play edition of the game. Put this file next to your executable and the game should run.
This is intended for personal use only - our license doesn't allow you to actually distribute this data.zip file with your own forks without getting permission from us first. See LICENSE.md for more details. (If you've got a project in mind that requires distributing this file, get in touch!)
A Word About Compiler Quirks
(Note: This section only applies to version 2.2 of the source code, which is the initial commit of this repository. Since then, much hard work has been put in to fix many undefined behaviors. If you're compiling the latest version of the source code, ignore this section.)
This engine is super fussy about optimization levels and runtime checks. In particular, the Windows version absolutely positively must be compiled in Debug mode, with /RTC enabled. If you build in Release mode, or have /RTC disabled, the game behaves dramatically different in ways that were never fully documented (bizarre softlocks, out-of-bounds issues that don't show up in tools like Valgrind, stuff like that). There are lots of things about this old code that could be cleaned up, polished, rewritten, and so on, but this is the one that will probably bite you the hardest when setting up your own build, regardless of platform.
We hope you'll enjoy messing with the source anyway!
Love, flibit
