R-Type

A networked remake of the classic horizontal shoot'em up R-Type, built on our own game engine. Up to four players fight waves of Bydos together. An authoritative, multithreaded server runs the game, and each player uses a graphical client.

Epitech project (B-CPP-500, Advanced C++).

Repository layout

This repository gathers every part of the project as git submodules:

Folder	Repository	Content
GameClient/	Space-Type/Game-Client	r-type_client: rendering, input and audio (raylib)
Server/	Space-Type/Server	r-type_server: game logic and networking
Documentation/	Space-Type/Documentation	Developer documentation and protocol

Both programs use Wrecks, our ECS and networking engine, as a submodule.

Requirements

Supported platform: Linux (Windows support in progress).

• A C++23 compiler (GCC 14 or newer)
• CMake 3.20 or newer
• git, curl, zip, unzip, tar and pkg-config (used by vcpkg to bootstrap itself)
• OpenGL and X11 development packages (system libraries used by raylib):

sudo dnf install mesa-libGL-devel libX11-devel libXrandr-devel libXinerama-devel libXcursor-devel libXi-devel   # Fedora
sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dev libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-dev              # Ubuntu

Every other dependency comes from git submodules (raylib, Wrecks) or from vcpkg, which is itself a submodule bootstrapped automatically: nothing else has to be installed on the system.

Build

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Space-Type/R-Type.git
cd R-Type
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build --parallel

On Windows (Visual Studio), build with cmake --build build --config Release --parallel.

The r-type_server and r-type_client binaries are written at the root of the repository. If the repository was cloned without --recursive, the first cmake fetches the submodules itself.

Usage

./r-type_server    # listens on UDP port 5432
./r-type_client

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the workflow (branches, commits, pull requests and reviews). Each component has its own developer documentation, for example GameClient/src/render/README.md for the client's rendering layer.
