hi hru? would you pls help me test my game engine? it is made in c with sdl and opengl and it's focused on making procedural games (that is, without prebuilt assets). i'm using it rn to build a fairly big 3d online game, it's foss btw!
this tiny demo is to test portability, it was made in just a few hours and has no win condition or score (sry about that). dynamic music tho!
you play with WASD to move, and IJKL or arrow keys to shoot.
if the sound crackles, or any other issues, pls leave a comment with your platform and specs (mostly cpu generation/speed), it will be much appreciated!
the sound is done in real time with an fm synth i've been experimenting with, with the intention of integrating it into the engine, but it's been complicated: sound doesn't come up uniformly across all platforms and it's cpu usage is excessive. hopefully it sounds good at your end ^^
i hope you have as much fun playing it as i had making it!

Install instructions
on linux you may need to install some libraries: sdl2, sdl2_mixer, GLES, and maybe some other that i forgot to remove from the linker, let me know and i'll recompile. you probably need to run `chmod +x` on the file too, or compile it yourself.
windows should just work, if it doesn't (or if it gets flagged as a virus, i avoided compressing it with upx for this reason) pls pls pls let me know!
web(HTML5) needs a webgl and wasm compatible browser, pretty much anything modern should work.

Hey there, this is pretty flashy looking, it feels like a bullet hell and the blue spary felt fun to use. The enemy hit noise was interesting to hear and this game ran smoothly. Audio on web sounded just fine
Looks and sounds Very cool.
