Chrome's Dinorunner game as a standalone C library.

This project contains a port of the famous Chrome's Dinosaur Game written in C.

It is designed to be used as a configurable backend library accessable to a wide range of programming languages (using i.e. CFFIs) and hardware architectures.

Features:

• Hardware-agnostic: No hardware-specific dependencies - Runs everywhere
• Compiler-agnostic: No compiler-specific dependencies - Compile and go
• No stdlib or header lib requirement
• No heap allocations
• No typedefs

The dinorunner was inspired by https://github.com/wayou/t-rex-runner from which the trex-assets were fetched.

The following functions need to be defined:

unsigned char dinorunner_writehighscore(unsigned long high_score, void* user_data);
unsigned char dinorunner_readhighscore(unsigned long* high_score, void* user_data);
unsigned long dinorunner_gettimestamp(void);
unsigned char dinorunner_sound_play(enum dinorunner_sound_e sound);
unsigned char dinorunner_vibrate(unsigned duration, void* user_data);
unsigned char dinorunner_canvas_clear(void* user_data);
unsigned char dinorunner_draw(enum dinorunner_sprite_e sprite, const struct pos_s* pos, void* user_data);
unsigned char dinorunner_log(const char* format, ...);

This project provides a preset docker container into which the program compiles and runs. The simplest way to run the program is using docker-compose:

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up

Alternaively, using CMake:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -S demo -B demo/build && cmake --build demo/build

while requiring libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-gfx-dev installable with:

sudo apt -y install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-gfx-dev

The lib can be installed system-wide using the sudo make install command after generating the Makefiles using CMake.

• Add sound and vibration support
• Improve configurability
• Add night mode
• Add Python/Pygame demo
