OpenSpades is a compatible client of Ace of Spades 0.75.

• Can connect to a vanilla/pyspades/pysnip server.
• Uses OpenGL/AL for better visuals.
• Open source, and cross platform.

1. Install dependencies:

   On Debian-derived distributions:

   libglew-dev libcurl3-openssl-dev``` (because of a bug in some distributions, you might also
   have to install more packages by ```sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libxinerama-dev libxft-dev```)
   
   
   *On other distributions*: 
   Install corresponding packages from your repository (or compile from source).
   
   

2. Download & install SDL2

   wget http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-2.0.1.tar.gz
   tar xvf SDL2-2.0.1.tar.gz
   cd SDL2-2.0.1/
   ./configure && make && sudo make install
   

   Additional dependencies may be required.

3. Download & install SDL2_image

   wget https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/release/SDL2_image-2.0.0.tar.gz
   tar xvf SDL2_image-2.0.0.tar.gz
   cd SDL2_image-2.0.0
   ./configure && make && sudo make install
   

   Additional dependencies may be required.

4. Create directory openspades.mk in cloned/downloaded openspades repo and compile:

   mkdir openspades.mk && cd openspades.mk && cmake .. && make OpenSpades

5. Install openspades:

   sudo make install

   note: the make install seems broken atm (it puts all files in /urs/local/bin) some linux guru / expert (or really, just anyone that used linux more than once) should either fix the cmake script, or explain to someone how the build should be installed (what files go where)

6. Get shared files:

   • If you compiling certain release (0.0.10 for example):

     Download windows binary of OpenSpades from https://sites.google.com/a/yvt.jp/openspades/downloads, extract it, and copy the .pak files inside Resources directory into /usr/local/share/openspades/Resources or ~/.openspades/Resources

   • If you compiling straight from source (git clone):

     See Resources/PakLocation.txt to find out where get latest shared files. Download, extract, and place them into /usr/local/share/openspades/Resources or ~/.openspades/Resources

7. Launch:

   openspades or cd $REPO_DIRECTORY; ./openspades.mk/bin/OpenSpades and enjoy

1. Get CMake, Visual studio, and the OpenSpades source. Official: https://github.com/yvt/openspades Unofficial: https://github.com/learn-more/openspades
2. Extract or checkout the source (all examples will assume E:/Projects/openspades, update paths in the examples to reflect yours)
3. Get (pre-compiled) copies of fltk, glew, curl, sdl2 and zlib, and place them in E:/Projects/openspades/Sources/Externals. See the file E:/Projects/openspades/Sources/Externals/readme.txt for details (and a pre-compiled set of libraries).
4. Run CMake, using the paths: Source: E:/Projects/openspades Binaries: E:/Projects/openspades/OpenSpades.msvc For your convenience, create the directory: E:/Projects/openspades/OpenSpades.msvc/os.Resources, extract the resources (.pak files) to this dir, set OPENSPADES_RESDIR to point to this directory. (Run CMake again, now when running debug builds openspades will also read resources from this dir)
5. Open E:/Projects/openspades/OpenSpades.msvc/OpenSpades.sln in visual studio.
