to prevent your OS from blocking the execution

Building

It builds for Windows (MSVC, x64), macOS (Apple Clang, arm64) and Linux (Clang, x86_64 or arm64).

For Linux users, it is also possible to cross-compile for Windows 64-bit using MinGW-w64 (Clang) via the provided build_win64.sh script. This requires the mingw-w64-gcc package (on Arch Linux). Note that the resulting .exe requires the MinGW runtime DLLs (e.g., libstdc++-6.dll, libgcc_s_seh-1.dll, libwinpthread-1.dll) to be present in the game folder to run.

You need your own copy of the game: its data is read at run time and is not part of this repository.

How it was made: the decompilation was done with Claude and Codex coordinating via an MCP mailbox server - reading the machine code, naming, writing the source. In-game testing and technical knowledge about the game's inner workings came from the Sheep Raider community.
