About
Space Invaders is a 1978 fixed shooter arcade game by Taito, one of the earliest and most influential video games, in which the player defeats descending waves of aliens with a horizontally moving laser cannon. SpaceClones is a Space Invaders clone written in C++ using the SFML library, distributed for Linux (including an AUR package for Arch Linux) with cross-compilation support for building a Windows executable.
Getting started
On Arch Linux it can be installed directly from the AUR; on other distributions, install the CMake/SFML/fontconfig dependencies and then build the repository with CMake and make. A MinGW-based cross-compilation path is provided for building a Windows executable.
Additional notes
- Quirk
- The README's macOS installation instructions simply say to install Linux instead.
