Misa facb079b35 Fix resumemusic/musicfadein not working
It seems like they were unfinished. This commit makes them properly
work.

When a track is stopped with stopmusic() or musicfadeout(),
resumemusic() will resume from where the track stopped. musicfadein()
does the same but does it with a gradual fade instead of suddenly
playing it at full volume.

I changed several interfaces around for this. First, setting currentsong
to -1 when music is stopped is handled in the hook callback that gets
called by SDL_mixer whenever the music stops. Otherwise, it'd be
problematic if currentsong was set to -1 when the song starts fading out
instead of when the song actually ends.

Also, music.play() has a few optional arguments now, to reduce the
copying-and-pasting of music code.

Lastly, we have to roll our own tracker of music length by using
SDL_GetPerformanceCounter(), because there's no way to get the music
position if a song fades out. (We could implicitly keep the music
position if we abruptly stopped the song using Mix_PauseMusic(), and
resume it using Mix_ResumeMusic(), but ignoring the fact that those two
functions are also used on the unfocus-pause (which, as it turns out, is
basically a non-issue because the unfocus-pause can use some other
functions), there's no equivalent for fading out, i.e. there's no
"fade out and pause when it fully fades out" function in SDL_mixer.) And
then we have to account for the unfocus-pause in our manual tracker.

Other than that, these commands are now fully functional.

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
