Online demo

Play a wasm build of this game https://kazzmir.itch.io/magic

Also try the combat simulator, which lets you test different battle situations https://kazzmir.itch.io/magic-combat-simulator

Build:

Extra packages needed for ebiten https://ebitengine.org/en/documents/install.html

$ go mod tidy
$ go build -o magic ./game/magic

or

$ make

Run:

Put the master of magic lbx files in one of the following places

• in the same directory as the game executable
• in any subdirectory of the directory the game executable is in
• in a zip file in the same directory as the game executable
• in a zip file in any subdirectory of the directory the game executable is in
• in a zip file and replace data/data/data.zip, then rebuild the game. This embeds the data into the executable. You can also put the unzipped lbx files in data/data/

Or use the -data <path> command line option to magic to specify either a directory that contains the lbx files or the <path> can be a zip file of the lbx files.

$ ./magic

or to run without building first

$ go run ./game/magic

Music:

This game comes with a midi synthesizer built in, so the music should play with no issues. A default soundfont is included in data/data, but the soundfont is somewhat small. If you would like to use a different soundfont so that the music sounds better, then place a soundfont file (.sf2) into data/data or in the directory that the executable is in, or in /usr/share/sounds on linux.

Installing fluidsynth will provide a high quality soundfont, so that is one option. fluidsynth

Screenshots:

Directory layout:

• game/ Contains go code that implements the game functionality
• lib/ Supporting code used to load data/fonts/midi
• util/ Extra utility programs for development purposes (sprite viewer, font viewer, etc)
• data/ Put a zip file with the game data to embed the data in the final binary
• test/ Test programs for executing small pieces of functionality at a time
