An open source, cross-platform, Terraria-inspired game, but with gameplay that is more focused on science, electricity, teleporters, gas and liquids.

(and open source, and cross platform)

LOOKING FOR CONTRIBUTORS! (whether art, code or something else)

See http://www.oreinfinium.org for more (slightly) up to date information.

Written in C++11, Qt 5.1, OpenGL 3.1 and using and contains only Free Software and Free assets.

In order to use Ore Infinium, you must compile it..for now (I don't have time to make binaries). Before you can do that, you must install the following:

IMPORTANT: this game requires at least OpenGL 3.1 or newer. You can figure this out usually by running 'glxinfo'.

Linux's Mesa drivers (9.x or so) work great in my experience, so far they support OpenGL 3.1 and one of my systems I test it on is that, the other is with the Nvidia blob.

To get started building this on Kubuntu (which is what I'm using as a test machine, and is, as a rule, a good base for shipping software), you can install some packages so that you don't have to build all of them yourself.

Here's a list of the dependencies I use, just to keep in mind. Commands are further down.

• Qt 5.1+ (http://

• protobuf (google's libprotobuf. needs both the library and the 'protoc' binary, which e.g. ubuntu ships in a separate package

• enet (UDP networking library) (http://enet.bespin.org/Installation.html)

• GLEW

• GLM (matrix/math library) >= 0.9.4 (http://glm.g-truc.net/) - https://github.com/g-truc/glm (NOTE: this is internal with the game, so it builds automatically with it. No need to get this.)

• OpenAL-Soft >= 1.14 (http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html#download) - NOT PRESENTLY USED, NO AUDIO SYSTEM CREATED YET, SO DONT WORRY ABOUT IT YET.

• YAML-CPP == 0.3.0. (https://code.google.com/p/yaml-cpp/source/checkout) NOT GREATER THAN.

Newer versions like 0.5 have a new API which I unfortunately cannot yet use as evidently, nothing ships it yet, not until the next version of ubuntu). Kind of a pain in the ass, but whatever.

• Chipmunk physics library (http://chipmunk-physics.net) >= 6.1

NOTE: you need a C++11 compatible compiler (at least GCC 4.7 is fine and clang 3.2 or above). MSVC/Visual Studio is particularly a retarded cousin of other compilers, so you can likely forget about that compiling for several years, as is the case with most projects.

NOTE: I do not apply custom patches to said dependencies, I push all of my code upstream so it doesn't turn into patch hell, and I like contributing. So the /dependencies/ directories are just checkouts of the versions of the libs that I use. Your distro's version should be sufficient, but this is for ease of use and such, especially for people on unfortunate platforms which do not have a package manager.

If you're running Ubuntu 13.10 (which is what I support the most), then type:

Just to make sure, if you've never done development, you probably need to run:

'apt-get install git cmake'

Now to download this repo(source code), type: git clone git@github.com:sreich/ore-infinium.git

now at a terminal, type 'cd ore-infinium' and: 'cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/myuser/some-path-to-install-game -DBUILD_THIRD_PARTY_LIBRARIES=ON'

The last part, aka the -DBUILD_THIRD_PARTY_LIBRARIES=ON flag indicates that the project should build the 3rd part dependencies/libraries that it comes with. Use this for if your system doesn't have them installed (specifically you will want this on Windows since it's work to compile things there).

Okay, so basically this gives us everything except the following:

So those need to be built from source.
