There are multiple different exit paths to the main menu. In 2.2, they all had a bunch of copy-pasted code. In 2.3 currently, most of them use game.quittomenu(), but there are some stragglers that still use hand-copied code. This is a bit of a problem, because all exit paths should consistently have FILESYSTEM_unmountassets(), as part of the 2.3 feature of per-level custom assets. Furthermore, most (but not all) of the paths call script.hardreset() too, and some of the stragglers don't. So there could be something persisting through to the title screen (like a really long flash/shake timer) that could only persist if exiting to the title screen through those paths. But, actually, it seems like there's a good reason for some of those to not call script.hardreset() - namely, dying or completing No Death Mode and completing a Time Trial presents some information onscreen that would get reset by script.hardreset(), so I'll fix that in a later commit. So what I've done for this commit is found every exit path that didn't already use game.quittomenu(), and made them use game.quittomenu(). As well, some of them had special handling that existed on top of them already having a corresponding entry in game.quittomenu() (but the path would take the special handling because it never did game.quittomenu()), so I removed that special handling as well (e.g. exiting from a custom level used returntomenu(Menu::levellist) when quittomenu() already had that same returntomenu()). The menu that exiting from the level editor returns to is now handled in game.quittomenu() as well, where the map.custommode branch now also checks for map.custommodeforreal. Unfortunately, it seems like entering the level editor doesn't properly initialize map.custommode, so entering the level editor now initializes map.custommode, too. I've also taken the music.play(6) out of game.quittomenu(), because not all exit paths immediately play Presenting VVVVVV, so all exit paths that DO immediately play Presenting VVVVVV now have music.play(6) special-cased for them, which is fine enough for me. Here is the list of all exit paths to the menu: - Exiting through the pause menu (without glitchrunner mode) - Exiting through the pause menu (with glitchrunner mode) - Completing a custom level - Completing a Time Trial - Dying in No Death Mode - Completing No Death Mode - Completing an Intermission replay - Exiting from the level editor - Completing the main game |

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
