Guide to game files

mp3/, sfx/

• Contains the music and sound effects

intra/

• Source code and game asset library.

Explanation of files in intra/

bat/

• Contains batch scripts needed to prepare the game for distribution on Play Store or prepare the game for testing via the FlashDevelop IDE. There's nothing particular specific to Anodyne in terms of building it as a standalone EXE so I'm not including instructions on how to do that (look up Adobe AIR). However the "PackageApp_Win" script SHOULD still work if you want to make an .exe on Windows. Mac is a little more irritating, I actually didn't include that script here, but you just need to use command line options with adt

bin/

• This will contain the game once you've built it with FlashDevelop.
• It also contains joyquery which the Windows version uses for controller support

obj/

• I still don't understand what this folder is for. I think it stores temp files for compilation from FlashDevelop.

src/

• The game's source code and assets. More on that soon.

txt/

• Various notes to myself, these might be enlightening or amusing. Some are to-do lists, some are early planning.

xml_app/

• .xml files needed for packaging the game as a standalone .exe file by using Adobe AIR and Flex.

Top Level files:

Intra.dam - The level data. You'll need to figure out how to build a working version of DAME level editor, unfortunately, but I did include the source code for that.

Intra-AIR.as3proj - the flashdevelop IDE file. Minimaps.dam - Level data for the in-game minimaps

various .bat files: These are used for packaging the game (as an .exe or .apk), or for testing the game using flash player. You could play the game in mobile-size with on screen buttons by running RunMobile.bat, but if you wanted to build an APK you'd need to install android SDK and update the .bat files SDK paths accordingly

Z_HELP.txt - various ramblings to myself about updating the game or how to build stuff. some of this is out of date, I'm not sure. maybe amusing.

Source code and Assets ("src/" folder)

awerwer, ca, com

-various extensions for mac controllers, steam. none of these are integrated into this open sourced version so this is obsolete i think)

csv/

-tilemap data for the levels. you could edit these with DAME (the level editor). Note that collision data is elsewhere

data/

• Contains both uncompiled dialogue (.txt) and compiled dialogues (NPC_Data_EN.as), which the game loads. Dialogue can be compiled with the make_npc_data.bat script, which runs the gen_npc.py python script. You shouldn't need to compile these unless you're modifying dialogue. You can also just directly edit the .as files to add new dialogue scenes
• The other .as scripts contain embeds for sprites that are used by other game code, or loading in game audio. If you want to add music you'd do that here. TileData lets you change collision info of tilemaps. CSV_Data contains embedded .csv files (tilemap data). Common_sprites contain some sprite embeds

entity/

• decoration - Various visual effects
• enemy - Enemies, bosses.
• gadget - dungeon entities (buttons, doors, holes, etc)
• interactive - NPCs, most cutscenes
• player - stuff relating to Young (brooms, swap, player movement)

extension - code for joyquery

global

• input management (keys.as), gamestate, flags, saving code, font data. in particular:
• Registry - contains functions for conversion of level data XML into a parsable format for the game (which SpriteFactory then uses)

helper

• misc files - e.g. windmill cutscene, achievements, dialogue state management, helper functions for events/cutscenes, shaders for SUBURB... in particular
• SpriteFactory - this code helps load data from the level data .xml to spawn enemies. If you wanted to port anodyne's level data to some other format, you might need to edit this at some point

lua

-Exporters for use with DAME level editor.

org

-Contains the open source Flixel engine. I might have made some modifications here, idk.

res

-art assets for the game

states

-various inner game loops. Using the "State" system from flixel (essentially groups of related objects that can be added/removed from the game). PlayState contains the game's most important loop, where the player and enemies are added and stuff, level loading. Some of these files aren't used I think

xml

-the exported level data (exported from the .dam file via DAME, which needs to be compiled to be used)

Main.as

-Entry point of the code -initializing the flash stage.

Intra.as

-The FlxGame of Anodyne (if you are familiar with the Flixel engine). The vast majority of this is mobile touch controls, but some game loop management is here too
