Hi.

Can this open source BlockOut2 code, be set up in an online editor/compiler?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/blockout/files/blockout/BlockOut%202.5/
I have tried to set up all code on GitHub here.
https://github.com/jlivingstonsg/BlockOut2

I want to be able to follow the development when I get help.

Possible?
Can you recommend anything?

I don't know of any online compilers that support GUIs or OpenGL. Why does it need to be an online compiler?

When I get help, I can follow the work of developers.
That is why I want the code in an online environment.

Where are you going to run the code, once you've compiled it "online"?

Or put another way, why can't you just clone your git to your local machine, install a compiler on your local machine (like everyone else does), and start hacking.

I am not a coder and just want to have it online and play with it.

This game is not big.
It is a replica of a DOS game from 1989 so I hope it is possible to code and run it all online.

Is it possible to edit it, compile it and run blockout2 online?

Hi.

I managed to set up the code on GitHub and GitLab.
https://gitlab.com/jlivingstonsg/BlockOut2-original-bl25-src

But I get some warnings.
Anybody here who know how to fix setup problems like pipeline problems?

Can someone here explain how to set up this code
https://gitlab.com/jlivingstonsg/BlockOut2-original-bl25-src
on Visual Studio 2019 or any other editor/IDE ?

Can it be set up on any online code editor/IDE ?

The original source code has solutions for VS 2013 already, VS 2019 can convert the old solutions to work for 2019.

Whether or not the source code is current Win32 API compliant, that is the question. I seriously doubt it.

But I get some warnings.

Want to share what those warnings are?

We can't see your computer screen or read your mind. You have to tell us if you want help.

GitLab have free account , so just log in there and see the 2 error logs you get when you press Web IDE .

This is a screen dumps from VS 2019

All the top tabs give the same error message.

I don't have the time nor desire to go look. You want help then tell us what the error messages are HERE.

What version of VS 2019 is that?
Try closing VS, then opening your project directory in File Explorer and deleting the .vs folder.

[deleted account xyzzy]

The .vs folder may be hidden by default, it is on my machine. Hidden items in the View tab should be checked.

Hello.

I need help to set up this open source code ,
on Visual Studio 2013/2019 or any kind of online code website,
where I can adjust the code, compile it and try the code on my computer.

I have the C/C++ files here on GitHub.
https://github.com/jlivingstonsg/BlockOut2-original-bl25-src


It say here something about the installation.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/blockout/files/blockout/BlockOut%202.5/
-----------------
How to compile the source ?
===========================

- BlockOut II source can be donwloaded from sourceforge http:/sourceforge.net/projects/blockout

Windows:

- You need Microsoft VS2013
- Install SDL 1.2.15 development libraries (from http://www.libsdl.org)
- Install SDL Mixer 1.2.12 development libraries (from http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/release-1.2.html)
- Set all appropriate include and lib paths in the project properties
(for ImageLib,SDL and SDL_Mixer)
- Set the working directory to the BlockOut project root
-------------------



To set up the code it say "CVS Access" on this link
https://sourceforge.net/p/blockout/code/
--------------------------
CVS is an old system for managing code. In order to access a CVS repository, you must install a CVS client.
---------------------------
CVS Access:
This CVS repository can be checked out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following commands. The module you wish to check out must be specified as the modulename. See the names of the modules in this repository.

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at blockout.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/blockout co -P modulename
-------------------------------

Do you know what "CVS Access" mean, to set up the code?


Open source code:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/blockout/


This is the code game webpage:
http://www.blockout.net/blockout2/

Can you help me set it up in Visual Studio 2013/2019 or somewhere online, where it can be compiled?
