Experimental version of Tile World for Mac, Windows and Linux. Tile World is an emulation of the game “Chip’s Challenge” for the Atari Lynx, created by Chuck Sommerville, and subsequently ported to Windows.
This is a fork of a fork or a fork. The original Tile World was written by Brian Raiter. Madhav Shanbhag created a fork of version 1.3.0 using the Qt Library and called it Tile World 2, although Brian Raiter subsequently produced a version 1.3.2 of the original.
The is a fork of Tile World 2.2.0 (the highest version I could find). I originally started it so I could get an 64-bit executable for Mac, but have added in a few UI improvements on the way, along with removing some of the older code.
I would strongly recommend you backup everything first!
The settings/solutions directory has moved from ~/.tworld to:
| Path | OS |
|---|---|
~/Library/Application Support/Tile World |
on Mac |
~/AppData/Roaming/Tile World |
on Windows, and |
~/.local/share/Tile World |
on Linux. |
This follows the QStandardPaths::AppDataLocation variable which in turn follows each OS’s conventions.
If you wish to migrate from an existing Tile World 2 installation, copy your files to appropriate directory and move your solution .tws files to a solutions sub directory. This version is more exacting then Tile World 2.2: the .dac must be in the sets sub-directory while any .dat files you wish to install should be placed in a data sub-directory. (For example if you have a chips.dat file, you should put it in ~/Library/Application Support/Tile World/data on Mac.)
To compile and run it you need qt and SDL (version 1 or 2) which can be installed via Homebrew.
To compile just run ./configure.pl and make.
make installwill install the app on Linux.make appwill create an application bundle on Mac.make distwill create a distribution folder on Windows.
Compiling on Windows requires a Unix-like environment. I use msys2.
