Anarch: a Very Special Game

Anarch: super small public domain no-dependency from-scratch suckless Doom clone
|
||
|
||
I've made this super small public domain no-dependency from-scratch suckless
|
||
Doom clone.
|
||
|
||
Anarch: extremely small, completely public domain, no-dependency, no-file,
|
||
portable suckless anarcho-pacifist from-scratch 90s-style Doom clone that runs
|
||
everywhere, made for the benefit of all living beings.
|
||
|
||
Anarch is a completely public domain, free software 90s-style anarcho-pacifist
|
||
Doom clone game which can fit into <MINSIZE> (including all assets), has
|
||
extremely low hardware demands, running on platforms with <MINRAM> of RAM on
|
||
<MINFREQ> CPU (which doesn't even has to have a floating point unit), has no
|
||
dependencies (not even standard C library), requires no filesystem (all assets
|
||
are embedded in source code), is extremely portable, made in pure C99 subset
|
||
of C++ completely from scratch (including the engine, all assets, the font,
|
||
palette etc.) with only free software and released completely into the public
|
||
domain (CC0), allowing absolutely any use. It was not made for profit or just
|
||
entertainment, it is an engineering art and a philosofical manifesto. For more
|
||
info see the website at <WEBSITE> or the repository at <REPOURL>.

========== pokitto ===========
|
||
|
||
I am releasing the version 1.0 of my uber game Anarch!
|
||
|
||
It's a Doom-like first person shooter with 10 levels. It is completely public
|
||
domain (CC0), so you can do whatever you wish with it: mod it, hack it, break
|
||
it, share it, even sell it. You can just grab it and start playing, however the
|
||
project has also become a manifesto of my philosophies, going beyond simple
|
||
entertainment purpose, so if you wish to check it out further, visit
|
||
|
||
<WEBSITE>
|
||
|
||
and
|
||
|
||
<REPOURL>
|
||
|
||
The game is not exclusive to Pokitto, I've made it to be independent of any
|
||
platform and you can also play it on your computer, in a browser
|
||
(<PLAYINBROWSER>), or on other consoles. However, it all started here, with the
|
||
Pokitto community, when a few years back Pokitto showed me the joy of
|
||
programming simple HW, when I began to play around with raycasting, which later
|
||
resutlted in raycastlib and eventually this game. Fot this I thank all of you.
|
||
|
||
Controls are:
|
||
|
||
- arrows: movement
|
||
- A: shoot, confirm
|
||
- B: hold for strafing, cancel
|
||
- C + A, C + B: switch weapons
|
||
- C + up: jump
|
||
- C + down: menu
|
||
|
||
Enjoy!
|
||
|
||
========== gb meta ===========
|
||
|
||
This is a GB Meta port of my suckless, platform-independent Doom-like game
|
||
Anarch, made with the help of a raycasting library (raycastlib) I've made and
|
||
also showcased here on GB Meta some time ago.
|
||
|
||
The game is completely public domain free software, you can do absolutely
|
||
anything with it. It is a small manifesto to some ideas I hold: if you wish to
|
||
know more, visit the game's website at <WEBSITE> or the repo at <REPOURL>. You
|
||
can also play the game in browser at <PLAYINBROWSER>.
|
||
|
||
I didn't spend too much time on the GB Meta port and I think it could be done
|
||
better, maybe rendered in higher resolution, with music and game's sounds. If
|
||
anyone skilled with Meta wants to pursue this task, just go ahead :)
|
||
|
||
Controls are:
|
||
|
||
- arrows: movement
|
||
- A: shoot, confirm
|
||
- B: hold for strafing, cancel
|
||
- menu + A, menu + B: switch weapons
|
||
- menu + up: jump
|
||
- menu + down: go to menu

I have made them all completely myself, from scratch, including taking my own

|
||
domain, for any use whatsoever.

# Finally releasing my suckless game Anarch!
|
||
|
||
I have spent a few years on this game. It is very special, one of its kind, a
|
||
manifesto to the ideas and philosophies I hold.
|
||
|
||
The game is extremely small, completely public domain (CC0) free software, has
|
||
no-dependencies, is extremely portable, suckless, made completely from-scratch
|
||
in the 90s-style of the original Doom. I made it for the benefit of all living
|
||
beings and am now sharing it with you. Enjoy and spread it around!

This is a trailer for my public domain Doom-like game Anarch. The game is very

special, extremely small, suckless, with tiny hardware demands, running

It is completely free, both as in gratis and freedom. To get it, visit

======= libregamewiki ========
|
||
|
||
Anarch is a completely public domain, free software, 90s-style anarcho-pacifist
|
||
Doom-like libre game. It was created by drummyfish, made with a special
|
||
philosophy in mind.
|
||
|
||
The game is made for entertainment, but also as a manifesto of certain
|
||
philosophies and ideas, including suckless programming, extreme portability,
|
||
anti-copyright, selflessness and anarcho-pacifism.
|
||
|
||
The game is special by its properties, which include:
|
||
|
||
- Extremely small size, the game can fit into <MINSIZE>, including all assets.
|
||
- Very low hardware demands, being able to run on <MINFREQ> embedded CPUs.
|
||
- No library dependencies – The game is written in pure C without any I/O, which
|
||
is left for each platform's frontend to implement.
|
||
- Implementation simplicity – no build system is needed, only a single file
|
||
needs to be compiled. The whole source code has <LOCTOTAL> lines of code.
|
||
- All assets are part of the source code, so no filesystem is required for the
|
||
game.
|
||
- Extreme portability thanks to the above. Official ports exist for PC, browser
|
||
and embedded consoles like Pokitto and Gamebuino Meta.
|
||
- Made completely from scratch with only free software, including the engine and
|
||
assets.
|
||
- Completely public domain status, being released under CC0.
|
||
|
||
The game is a "pseudo 3D" first person shooter, like Doom, and consists of 10
|
||
levels. The graphics uses a 256 color palette and is a little simpler than that
|
||
of Doom, having e.g. no textures on floor and ceiling and using just 32x32 pixel
|
||
images. The engine uses software rendering and 2D raycasting for rendering.
|
||
There are multiple enemy types, weapons and items to pick up. Music is
|
||
procedurally generated (utilizing so called bytebeat).

Hello,
|
||
|
||
I am releasing version 1.0 of my suckless game Anarch that I've been working
|
||
on on evenings for a few years now.
|
||
|
||
It's probably a little different from what you expect from a typical modern
|
||
game, it looks like from early 90s and will seem backwards and dumb at first,
|
||
but it's just trying to do things differently. It's not just a game but also a
|
||
manifesto of some ideas I hold.
|
||
|
||
It is extremely small, completely public domain, no-dependency, no-file,
|
||
portable suckless anarcho-pacifist from-scratch 90s-style Doom clone that runs
|
||
everywhere, made for the benefit of all living beings. For more see the page
