Installation
[Back to top]
For Windows
Linux/Debian based systems
Option 1: Download the zipped executable file
If your download was saved on the ~/Downloads folder
Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open the shell if you are on GNU/Linux based systems and type
$ unzip ~/Downloads/SpaceShooter-0.0.3.Linux.zip -d ~/Desktop
$ cd ~/Desktop
$ ## navigate to the unzipped file and change the file permissions for the executable
~/Desktop $ chmod +x spaceShooter
~/Desktop $ ./spaceShooter
This will unzip the file on your Desktop, you can replace it with the directory of your choice
NOTE : If it gives you an error, you probably don’t have unzip installed in your system.
$ sudo apt-get install unzip
That should fix the error.
- Run the executable named
spaceShooter
A Similar process would be followed for OS X
Option 2: Build from source
You need to have pygame installed for this option.
For FreeBSD
$ sudo pkg install devel/py-game
Clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/tasdikrahman/spaceShooter.git
$ cd spaceShooter/
$ chmod +x spaceShooter.py
$ python spaceShooter.py
For Ubuntu/Debian
$ sudo apt-get install python-pygame
Clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/tasdikrahman/spaceShooter.git
$ cd spaceShooter/
$ python spaceShooter.py
For MAC OS X
You have to build from source to get it up and running on OS X. Reason?
I don’t have an OS X system to build the executable! So I would love for a Pull request on that one.
Building from source will do the trick though
$ pip3 install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
Install Pygame specific dependencies
$ brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_ttf portmidi libogg libvorbis
$ brew install sdl_mixer --with-libvorbis
Clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/tasdikrahman/spaceShooter.git
$ cd spaceShooter/
$ python spaceShooter.py
