Dependencies

Resources

You will need to place the original gfx and icon resources into resources/. You can download the original version from the official Skifree website and extract the resources with a a PE resources extractor (e.g. ResourcesExtract)

Alternatively, you can fetch pre-extracted resources:

curl -Lo /tmp/ski32_resources.zip https://archive.org/download/ski32_resources/ski32_resources.zip
unzip -d resources /tmp/ski32_resources.zip
Libraries
  • SDL2
  • SDL2_image
  • SDL2_ttf

Compiling

This is a cmake project.

git clone https://github.com/jeff-1amstudios/skifree_sdl
cd skifree_sdl
# grab resources
curl -Lo /tmp/ski32_resources.zip https://archive.org/download/ski32_resources/ski32_resources.zip
unzip -d resources /tmp/ski32_resources.zip

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

Per-frame physics is enabled by default. To use the original 40 ms movement updates instead:

./build/skifree_sdl --no-per-frame-physics

On macOS, run the app bundle with the option using:

open build/skifree_sdl.app --args --no-per-frame-physics

MacOS

On MacOS we build an app bundle skifree_sdl.app. Use right-click > Open the first time to get around unverified developer warnings.
