InfiniteShooter

A shooter game written in Python with PyGame.

Installation

1. Install Python and pip. It's shipped by default in Fedora.
2. Install PyGame from pip. To do this, open up a terminal (yes, even on Windows!) and run pip install pygame.
3. Clone this repository to a tempoary directory. I typically would go cd /tmp; git clone https://github.com/pastthepixels/InfiniteShooter; cd InfiniteShooter on my Fedora system
4. cd (change directory) to the InfiniteShooter subfolder
5. Installation:
   5a. On GNU/Linux systems, run ./install.sh from a terminal.
   5b. On Windows systems, run ./install.ps1 (a PowerShell script). It should be noted that this simply copies InfiniteShooter to your home directory, and it does not create a shortcut.

NOTE: Technical details for step 5b: The installation script copies a template .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications and then replaces a filler for the base path of InfiniteShooter for the actual path it was installed to. If I publish this game to, say, Steam (which I want to do in the near future), all installation stuff will be mitigated so you can just play InfiniteShooter without worrying about all this.

Uninstallation

GNU/Linux

1. cd to ~/.infiniteshooter or /usr/share/infiniteshooter depending on if you installed InfiniteShooter system-wide.
2. Run ./uninstall.sh.

Windows

1. Go to your home folder. On Windows it looks something like this: C:/Users/$YOURNAME/
2. Change directory to InfiniteShooter.
3. Run ./uninstall.ps1, a PowerShell script.

Hardware/software requirements

Minimum hardware: I tested this generally on an Intel Pentium processor. Unfortunately, since I don't know which, I can only garuntee that it works within this range. I'm guessing since there are many performance optimizations and that there is no heavy rendering going on that you can run this on any Pentium, but beware.
Tested hardware: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with mobile graphics (Lenovo ThinkPad E595)
Recommended hardware: The very best you can muster. I don't know, RTX or something. But there's a GPU shortage right now so yeah.
Recommended OS: GNU/Linux
Tested OS: Fedora 34

Notes

• A cautionary tale: I have made a manual keyboard-focused GUI for this game. In the future, you should just use pygame_gui -- pip install pygame_gui. It's FLOSS and it's on pygame's site.
• Also you can't get those sweet GTK4 rounded corners or even a dark title bar because blah blah blah SDL garbage.
• EDIT: Scratch that last part about dark themes, I just did this:

xprop -f _GTK_THEME_VARIANT 8u -set _GTK_THEME_VARIANT "dark" -name "InfiniteShooter"

Contributing

You actually want to contribute to InfiniteShooter? It'll be great to have you!
Only thing is I only have experience to create repositories to store my software and I've never had any experience with contributing with others!
If you have any idea on how this works, please contact me (my address is somewhere in my GitHub profile) and let me know!
