This game was developed in FreeBASIC, specially for the FBGD Seasons of the Year Competition (Nov 2012 – 04 Mar 2013).

FreeBASIC is an excellent, fast, free, self-hosting, open-source BASIC compiler. Check it at http://www.freebasic.net




* Recommended Settings

Processor: AMD or Intel x86, with SSE2, 1 GHz or faster

RAM: 1 GB or more

Graphics Card: 256 MB of Video RAM or more, fully compliant with OpenGL 2.0 or higher

A joystick / joypad is highly recommended for an optimal gaming experience.

The game may still work with a lower configuration system, but you may experience low performance at some points.




* Windows Specific Requirements

Windows XP or higher

Proprietary video drivers for the graphics card (AMD, Intel or Nvidia)




* Linux Specific Requirements

glibc 2.15 or higher

Proprietary video drivers for the graphics card (AMD or Nvidia)

Notes:
Intel graphics work, but you may experience low performance and/or crashes.
Open source video drivers may work, but they are not fully supported.




* OSX Users

There is no OSX version right now.

The Windows version seems to work fine with wine (http://www.winehq.com).

But as I don't have a Mac to test, this configuration is not officially supported.





F.A.Q.:


Q: What programming language/libraries/software/operating system/tools did you use to develop this game?

FreeBASIC compiler;
OpenGL for graphics;
SDL and SDL_mixer for sound;
FreeBASIC PNG Library - fbpng (Thank you yetifoot);
FreeBASIC FLC Player - based on the old QB FLC Player program (Thank you Carl Gorringe);
Audacity and sfxr (http://www.drpetter.se/project_sfxr.html) to create the sound effects;
Autodesk Animator Pro (under DOSBox) and Gimp to draw the graphics;
Geany as code editor;
Kubuntu 12.04 64-bit (desktop) and Lubuntu 11.04 64-bit (netbook).


Q: Who made the music?

Kevin MacLeod. Visit his page at http://www.incompetech.com


Q: Can I redistribute this game?

Yes, as long as it's for free and you don't remove this README or any other files from the package.


Q: Can I sell this game?

No.


Q: Can I use your media in another project?

We can discuss it. Drop me a line.


Q: Can I make changes to this game?

Yes. If you do it, please contact me.


Q: Can I make my own game using this source code?

Yes. Please give me some credit.


Q: I get a crash / freeze or a black screen when I pause the game / in menus / title screen. I'm using Intel video.

This is caused by the video drivers. It's fixed since Ubuntu 13.10. Not sure about Windows. But if you still experience this
issue, try running the game with "-nofrontbuffer", or set "frontbuffer=0" in "odysseasons.conf".


Q: I have more than one monitor, and the game opens in a very small window.

The game can't automatically determine the resolution when there is more than one display.
You can either disable the additional displays, or edit "odysseasons.conf" to set your desired
resolution manually.


Q: I really like this game. What can I do to help?
