OpenStrike
F/OSS Desert Strike and Jungle Strike reimplementation.
Status
The project is currently on the early stages of development, and is not yet playable. What it can offer right now:
- An utility to unpack Desert/Jungle Strike .DAT files
- Game graphics viewer
- Viewer for complete game levels
- A game skeleton which currently demonstrates an ability to load and render some sprites and animations
Building
Dependencies:
- cmake
- SDL2
The project also uses libSDL2pp, C++11 bindings library for SDL2.
It's included into git repository as a submodule, so if you've
obtained source through git, don't forget to run git submodule init && git submodule update.
To build the project, run:
cmake . && make
Running
To run any of binaries produced by the project, you need original
Desert/Jungle Strike .DAT files (further referred as file.DAT)
Unpacker
To view all entries in .DAT file:
% util/unpacker/unpacker -l file.DAT
To extract them into current directory:
% util/unpacker/unpacker -x file.DAT
Graphics viewer
util/gfxviewer/gfxviewer file.DAT
Use arrow keys or Page Up/Page Down to navigate through graphics and Q or Escape to close the viewer.
Map viewer
util/mapviewer/mapviewer file.DAT
Use arrow keys to scroll the map, +/- to zoom and Q or Escape to close the viewer.
Game
src/openstrike file.DAT
Use arrow keys to control the chopper, Z/X/C to fire. That's all it actually does for now.
