Description
-----------
Are you able to handle the difficulties of turning? Your job is to carve 
a given shape out of wood with a chisel. The better you match the shape 
and more accure job you do, the better score you will get. With earned 
score you can buy new faster and stronger chisels. Watch out for going 
too fast, as you might overheat your chisel or break the wood!

You can try to beat the high scores of other users on Internet by 
playing through all the levels!

Required programs and libraries
-------------------------------
The following programs and libraries are required to compile the game:
- GCC C++ compiler
- SDL 1.2
- SDL_ttf 2.0
- GLEW >= 1.5
- libvorbis
- libpng
- OpenGL

Installing the required packages on Fedora (as root):
  $ yum install gcc-c++ SDL-devel SDL_ttf-devel glew-devel libpng-devel \
    libvorbis-devel mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel

Installing the required packages on Ubuntu (as root):
  $ apt-get install g++ libsdl1.2-dev libglew-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev \
    libpng-dev libvorbis-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev


Compiling
---------
Compiling on Linux:
  $ rm *.o
  $ make

Will result in BlackBeltSorviHero.bin that can be executed.


High scores
-----------
The high scores on the server are accessed with HTTP. The actual highscore 
list is stored as a text file, called 'BlackBeltSorviHero/highscores.txt'. 
The game submits new highscores to the server by doing a HTTP POST request 
to 'BlackBeltSorviHero/submit.php'. The game fetches the highscore list by 
fetching the text file with a HTTP GET. The host name of the highscore 
server is defined by HIGHSCORE_SERVER in 'menus.cc'.

The validity of the highscore submissions is verified with a signature. 
The signature is sent in the POST request and includes the player's 
name, the score and a secret key. The server checks that it can produce 
the same signature as the game binary, and thus the game and the server 
should agree on the secret key. The secret key is stored in 
HIGHSCORE_SECRET_KEY in 'menu.cc' and 'submit.php'.


Cross compiling for Windows on Fedora
-------------------------------------
You will need mingw installed on your system. Mingw can be installed with:
  $ yum install mingw32-gcc-c++ mingw32-SDL mingw32-freetype mingw32-libpng \
    mingw32-libvorbis

Mingw packages for GLEW and SDL_ttf are not available on Fedora, and 
have to be compiled and installed separately.

GLEW can be installed as follows:
  1. Download and extract glew-1.6.0.tgz
  2. Compile with:
     $ make SYSTEM=mingw CC=i686-pc-mingw32-gcc LD=i686-pc-mingw32-gcc
  3. Install by executing as root:
     $ cp lib/libglew32.a /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/
     $ cp include/GL/*.h /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/GL/

SDL_ttf can be installed as follows:
  1. Mingw "freetype-config" is broken and can be fixed by executing as root:
     $ sed -i -e 's/pkg-config/i686-pc-mingw32-pkg-config/g' \
       /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/freetype-config
  2. Download and extract SDL_ttf-2.0.10.tar.gz
  3. Compile with:
     $ ./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32 \
       --with-freetype-prefix=/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/
     $ make
  4. Install by executing as root:
     $ cp SDL_ttf.h /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include/
     $ cp libSDL_ttf.a /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/

To compile, execute the following:
  $ rm *.o
  $ make -f Makefile.mingw

To build a distributable zip package that includes the Linux and Windows 
versions, run the following. Both binaries must be built before hand and 
the required .dll files must be copied to the source directory.
  $ make release


Cross compiling to Nokia N900
-----------------------------
The game can be compiled to N900 inside Scratchbox environment. The game 
requires development files to compile. The files can be installed inside 
Scratchbox with:
  $ apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libglew-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev \
    libpng-dev libvorbis-dev

To compile, execute the following inside Scratchbox:
  $ rm *.o
  $ make -f Makefile.n900

Installable Debian package can be created with:
  $ make -f Makefile.n900 package
