RPG++ is an experimental 2D RPG game engine written in C++. It is currently in early development, but contributions are welcome!

Requirements

To build RPG++, you'll need to install the following tools/packages:

• For all platforms:
  • xmake (follow the instructions on the website to install XMake on your system)
  • git
• Specifically for Linux:
  • gcc, g++, make, and ninja (on Debian-based distros, you can install this via sudo apt install build-essential)
  • libx11-dev, libxrandr-dev, libxinerama-dev, libxcursor-dev, libxi-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev, and mesa-common-dev (Debian-based distros can install this via sudo apt install libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-dev libgl1-mesa-dev mesa-common-dev)
• Specifically for Windows:
  • Visual Studio 2019 or later with Desktop development with C++ (community edition will suffice)

Building

Clone the project using git with

git clone https://github.com/CDevv/rpgpp

To build all targets, run

xmake build --all

If xmake failed to build, try force reinstalling the packages with

xmake clean --all # remove build artifacts
xmake require --clean # remove installed package cache for project
xmake require --force # force install of package

Running

To start the editor, run

xmake run editor

Translation

Translation are located in resources/translations, containing JSON files with their names being the language code.

Each JSON files is structured as either flattened JSON:

{
	"language": "<name_of_language>",
	"translation.key": "<translation_value>"
}

or nested JSON:

{
	"language": "<name_of_language>",
	"translation": {
		"key": "<translation_value>"
	}
}

Both types are supported, though we recommend using nested JSON for better organization.

If you wish to improve an existing language, you can do so by modifying the language file of the language you know. Or if you want to add a new language, create a new JSON file within the folder, specify the language via the language key, and then translate the root translation file (en_us.json). The engine will automatically pick it up.

To check for translation progress, you can do so via

xmake check_translation
