The following procedure has been tested on Ubuntu 20.04.

Just run the INSTALL.sh script, from the source directory:

chmod +x INSTALL.sh; ./INSTALL.sh

This script will build the project, assuming you have the correct dependencies.

WARNING Please read the first few lines of the script if the procedure fails. They provide information about dependencies installation.

To run the game, run

./bin/tetris

from the source directory.

If you want to compile the project step by step, the categories below provide more details.

To compile this project, some packages have to be installed on your machine.

First, install some usual packages concerning C/C++ build.

sudo apt install gcc libstdc++6 make cmake 

Those packages are respectivelly the C/C++ compiler, the C++ standard library, and make/cmake build tools.

The project is also based on the SFML project (Simple Fast Multimedia Library).

To install the required module of this library, run

sudo apt install libsfml-dev libsfml-graphics2.5 libsfml-system2.5 libsfml-window2.5

To compile the game, you first need to create a build directory aside from the source:

mkdir bin

Then, run cmake with Release build option:

# from source dir
cmake -S . -B bin -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Other available build options are Debug and RelWithDebInfo

Then, run make

make -C bin

A binary file called tetris has been created in the build folder.

./bin/tetris

If it fails with a message such as permission denied: ./tetris, you need to grant tetris the execution permission by running :

chmod +x ./bin/tetris
