• Project Structure

A multiplayer hacking simulator with a graphical OS, built in C++ and OpenGL.

Dependencies

The following dependencies are required:

• A C++ compiler (e.g., clang, g++)
• CMake (3.16 or newer)
• SDL3 development libraries
• GLEW development libraries
• FreeType development libraries

Installation (Debian)

You can install all required dependencies with the following command:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential clang cmake libsdl3-dev libglew-dev libfreetype-dev

Build Instructions

This project uses a top-level Makefile to simplify the CMake workflow. Build artifacts will be placed in the bin/ directory.

Simply run the following commands from the root of the project directory:

• Build the project:

  make

• Build and run the client:

  make runc

• Build and run the server:

  make runs

• Clean the project: This removes the bin/ directory.

  make clean

Project Structure

The codebase is organised into three main components:

• common/: A shared library (libbettola) containing code used by both the client and server.
• client/: The game client (bettolac), handles rendering, UI, and user input.
• server/: The game server, manages game state and the world simulation.
