+DESCRIPTION
+ Yoink is a game created by Neil Carter for Mac OS. You play the part of
+ a flying alien heroine who must defend her home on Earth from other
+ airborne alien invaders.
-The new code is released under the Simplified BSD License. The old code and
-original resources are provided under the zlib/libpng License. See COPYING
-for complete details.
+ This version of the game uses all new code and modern frameworks to bring
+ this simple, fast-moving action game to a wider audience.
+ INSTALLATION
+ Installing Yoink is simple. You can typically use commands such as
+ these:
-Dependencies:
+ cd /path/to/yoink
+ ./configure
+ make && make install
-boost headers 1.35.0
-libGL
-libSDL 1.2.13
-libSDL_image 1.2.7
+ This will install Yoink into the /usr/local directory. To run Yoink,
+ issue the command:
-Note: The version numbers are the versions I have been using for development,
-not necessarily the minimum required version numbers.
+ /usr/local/bin/yoink
+ or just yoink if /usr/local/bin is already in your PATH. See
+ yoink_install(7) for a more detailed discussion about the build system
+ and a list of required packages.
+
+ LICENSE
+ The new code is released under the 2-clause BSD license. The old code
+ and original resources are provided under the zlib/libpng license. See
+ the file COPYING for complete details. Other parts are distributed under
+ different licenses. See yoink_license(7) for the full texts of the
+ relevant licenses.
+
+ ABOUT THE CODE
+ The code is a complete rewrite, containing none of the original code.
+ I've made some effort to put the more generic or reusable code into a
+ separate library called libmoof. I've also made an effort to incorporate
+ 3rd-party code that happened to fit well into what I needed. So,
+ generally, the source code is separated into these three categories:
+
+ 1. Yoink-specific code. This is the code in the src directory. These
+ classes reside in no explicit namespace.
+
+ 2. Reusable code. The code is in src/moof, and it is compiled as a
+ convenience library. These classes and helper functions reside in
+ the moof namespace. Since I wrote this code alongside the Yoink-
+ specific stuff, there is somewhat of a blurry line between the two
+ categories, unfortunately.
+
+ 3. Third-party code. This is made up of free code from other projects
+ or libraries, the licenses of which are also noted in the COPYING
+ file. This code resides in various namespaces and in various
+ subdirectories of src.
+
+ PACKAGING
+ Here are some tips to help packagers:
+
+ o The build scripts are written in Lua, so make sure the Lua
+ interpreter is installed. That shouldn't be a problem since Yoink
+ depends on the Lua library anyway.
+
+ o The Makefile will only work well with GNU make. On some systems,
+ this is installed as gmake.
+
+ o The configure script supports most of the useful options that an
+ Autoconf-generated script would have, and the Makefile supports
+ DESTDIR.
+
+ See yoink_install(7) for a more detailed discussion about the build
+ system.
+
+ SENDING PATCHES
+ I'll gladly entertain patches if you want to help out. Just email me
+ your stuff or tell me where to pull if you use git. If you're interested
+ in that, please observe the following:
+
+ o Stick to the coding style of the source code files you edit. Follow
+ the general style of method and variable naming, as well as white
+ space formatting. In particular, use literal tabs with an assumed
+ tabstop of 8 characters. Also, try to limit line lengths to 78
+ characters.
+
+ o For legal reasons, don't include other peoples' code with your patch.
+ You must also agree to license your changes according to the same
+ terms and conditions as the files you edit, usually the 2-clause BSD
+ license.
+
+ o If you want your name and contact information in the AUTHORS file,
+ please make it so in the patch you provide.
