Quiver is a raycasting game engine, and being such a ancient and magical technique is based upon implementation and algorithms described in the following resources:
- Lode's Computer Graphics Blog - A look at raycasting and a examplar C implementation.
Quiver requires OpenTK and OpenAL (and RGB.NET if you fancy), these are packaged with the solution through NuGet so should just install for you.
Provided in this source are a number of Visual Studio solutions. Find games.sln and build all.
Make any changes to the game module project (denoted as 'game'), and before compiling, change the output directory to a new subdirectory of your naming. Compile and copy any/all assets from the quiver directory.
In order to load the game, run the following windows command inside of the engine directory, where 'cstrike' is the name of the game folder. If there is no game argument, then the directory defaults to 'quiver/'.
quiver.exe +game cstrikeFor any changes to the source, the corresponding modules must be built. As a safety (to prevent hair-ripping oversights) feature, use the 'Build all' option in Visual Studio where able.
