Misa a345cf93b8 Fix elephant placement across rooms
Okay, so, this is the elephant sprite, right?

This is how it looks in the actual game, when you stitch all the rooms
together:

Looks kind of messed-up, doesn't it?

Okay, so, in the bottom two rooms (11,9) and (12,9), the elephant is
placed at y-position -152. But in (11,8) and (12,8), it's placed at
y-position 96. This is despite the fact that -152 plus 240 is 88, not
96.

Similarly, in the left two rooms (11,8) and (11,9), the elephant is
placed at x-position 64, but in the right two rooms (12,8) and (12,9),
the elephant is placed at -264. This is despite the fact that 64 minus
320 is -256, not -264.

All of this stems from the calculations in Otherlevel.cpp using offsets
of -248 and -328 instead of -240 and -320.

So there's an 8-pixel offset that causes the elephant to be chopped off
when viewed with all the rooms stitched together. Simple enough to fix.
For the y-position fixes, I decremented the initial 8-pixel multiplier
as well, else the elephant would sink into the floor.

And this is what the elephant looks like now after stitching:

Thanks to Tzann for pointing this out.

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 2.0.16+ 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). (If you're on Ubuntu and your Ubuntu is too old to have this SDL version, then see here for workarounds.)

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 -A Win32 -G "Visual Studio 10 2010" .. -DSDL2_INCLUDE_DIRS="C:\SDL2-2.0.16\include;C:\SDL2_mixer-2.0.4\include" -DSDL2_LIBRARIES="C:\SDL2-2.0.16\lib\x86\SDL2;C:\SDL2-2.0.16\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.

Also note that if you're using a Visual Studio later than 2010, you will need to change the -G string accordingly; otherwise you will get a weird cryptic error. Refer to the list below:

  • VS 2012: "Visual Studio 11 2012"
  • VS 2013: "Visual Studio 12 2013"
  • VS 2015: "Visual Studio 14 2015"
  • VS 2017: "Visual Studio 15 2017"
  • VS 2019: "Visual Studio 16 2019"
  • VS 2022: "Visual Studio 17 2022"

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
