# ChaiGame [](https://travis-ci.org/RobLoach/ChaiGame)
|
|
|
|
Framework to make 2D games with [ChaiScript](http://chaiscript.com/) and [libretro](https://www.libretro.com)/[RetroArch](http://retroarch.com).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Games
|
|
|
|
- [FlappyBird](https://github.com/RobLoach/chaigame-flappybird)
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
ChaiGame is roughly inspired by the [LÖVE API](https://love2d.org/wiki/Main_Page). The following `main.chai` is a Hello World sample application:
|
|
|
|
``` lua
|
|
def load() {
|
|
// Load assets.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
def draw() {
|
|
graphics.print("Hello World!", 400, 300)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
def update(delta) {
|
|
// Change something on the screen.
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To run it, execute the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
retroarch -L chaigame_libretro.so main.chai
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
Building ChaiGame takes some time, so have patience. Use the following command to compile the core:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Testing
|
|
|
|
To compile and run the testing framework, use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make examples
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Flags
|
|
|
|
There are a few flags you can enable to change how Chai is compiled and used.
|
|
|
|
- `HAVE_CHAISCRIPT=0` Remove the scripting environment for fast compilation
|
|
- `HAVE_TESTS=1` Enables [`test/Test.cpp`](Test.cpp) for testing
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make HAVE_CHAISCRIPT=0 HAVE_TESTS=1
|
|
```
