1. Lecture: 15-1

• Prerequisites for this lecture are: 14-1, 14-2 and 14-3.

2. Work flow for touchmap, chisel, penguin tower, doom3 usage

• touchmap should be able produce a text map which is suitable for penguin tower, isometric penguin tower and doom3
• all maps are in text, doom3 maps and penguin tower maps can be produced using touchmap and chisel
• using a terminal in the vmware or R-Pi linux type:

• $ d3

• this will take a few seconds and will:
  • create a set of configuration files for doom3
  • download the chisel source code from github and place it into: $HOME/Sandpit/chisel
• it then starts up doom3
  

3. chisel

• after the doom3 window appears open up another command line terminal and type:

• $ cd
  $ cd Sandpit/chisel/python
  $ ls ../maps
  $ ./developer-txt2map ../maps/three.txt
  

4. Chisel map: three.txt

• $HOME/Sandpit/chisel/maps/three.txt

  define 1 room 1
  define 2 room 2
  define 3 room 3

  define o monster monster_demon_imp
  define h monster monster_demon_hellknight
  define S monster monster_demon_tick

5. Touchmap

• should eventually generate text files similar to three.txt
• chisel will produce doom3 and penguin tower equivalents from your text map
• now return to the doom3 window and press the tilde key ~
  • this enables the in game doom3 console
• in this console type: dmap tiny.map
  • dmap bsp compiles the tiny.map
• once this is complete, type in the doom3 console: map tiny.map
  • which loads in the bsp compiled map tiny.map
• notice that the output from chisel is always tiny.map
  • this is for convenience and configuration
  • chisel can output the file into any named file if necessary

6. Penguin Tower

• is a multiplayer 2 dimensional game
  • inspired by Morloc Tower although Penguin Tower is very different
• however the screen layout and many of the key commands are the same
• you can download a copy of the game from here.
• you then need to extract the archive using the following command line:

• $ mkdir $HOME/Sandpit
  $ cd $HOME/Sandpit
  $ wget http://floppsie.comp.glam.ac.uk/download/penguin-tower/penguin-tower-2.0.tar.gz
  $ tar zxvf penguin-tower-2.0.tar.gz
  

7. Creating important directories

• these directories need to created before penguin tower can be built

• $ mkdir -p $HOME/Sandpit
  $ cd $HOME/Sandpit
  $ mkdir -p $HOME/opt/bin
  $ mkdir -p build-ptower
  

8. Building Penguin Tower

• you should be able to build it by typing:

• $ cd $HOME/Sandpit
  $ mkdir -p build-ptower
  $ cd build-ptower
  $ ../penguin-tower-2.0/configure --prefix=$HOME/opt
  $ make
  $ cd ..

• you need to check that the make program above exited with no error messages
• note the build will recreate all images in the build directory.
  

9. Installing your own copy of Penguin Tower

• you can install your own copy of Penguin Tower into your directory ( $HOME/opt ) specified by the --prefix to the ./configure command

• $ cd $HOME/Sandpit
  $ mkdir -p build-ptower
  $ cd build-ptower
  $ make install
  $ cd ..
  

10. Penguin Tower keyboard controls

• keyboard controls.

11. Configure notes

• you only need to execute ../penguin-tower-2.0/configure --prefix=$HOME/opt once ever in this directory (unless you modify the package)
• check out the documentation here.
