Hiversaires

Hiversaires is a point-n-click, or "escape" type game created for adventurers who remember games where you had to draw maps to find your way out of a cave. The dark world of Hiversaires features an original Aliceffekt soundtrack to lure you through its entangled corridors.

Requirements

We intend for Hiversaires to compile for most platforms. To build Hiversaires, you must have SDL2, SDL_mixer and mpg123.

Arch

sudo pacman -S sdl2 sdl2_mixer

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install sdl2 sdl2_mixer

OSX

brew install sdl2 sdl2_mixer mpg123

We rebuild the mixer to support MP3s by running brew edit sdl2_mixer, replacing --disable-music-mp3-mpg123 with --enable-music-mp3-mpg123, and then running brew reinstall --build-from-source sdl2_mixer

If the reinstall fails, run brew doctor and remove what it asks you to from /opt or /usr, then try again.

Windows

Download SDL2, and SDL Mixer.
