Build Editor Skill

Builds the Asciicker map editor (asciiid) for macOS using the project's makefile.

Quick Commands

Build the editor:

Copymake -f makefile_asciiid_mac

Clean build (rebuild everything):

Copymake -f makefile_asciiid_mac clean && make -f makefile_asciiid_mac

Build for Linux:

Copymake -f makefile_asciiid

Build Output

The compiled editor will be at: .run/asciiid

Launch After Build

To run the editor after building:

Copy./.run/asciiid

Or on macOS (to launch as app):

Copyopen .run/asciiid.app

What Gets Built

The editor includes:

• Terrain editing tools
• Material painting system (grass, water, etc.)
• Sprite placement
• Enemy generator placement
• Map save/load functionality
• Camera controls

Common Build Issues

1. Missing dependencies: Ensure OpenGL, SDL2, X11 libraries installed
2. Compilation errors: Check for syntax errors in .cpp files
3. Linking errors: Verify all object files compiled successfully

Files Compiled

Main sources:

• asciiid.cpp - Main editor logic
• terrain.cpp - Terrain rendering
• render.cpp - OpenGL rendering
• game.cpp - Game logic
• Plus ImGui and other dependencies

Instructions

When the user asks to build the editor:

1. Run make -f makefile_asciiid_mac
2. Report any compilation warnings or errors
3. Confirm successful build with "Linking: .run/asciiid"
4. Optionally launch the editor if requested
