Building a game disk image for the Apple II Platform

Install dependencies

The platform build for the Apple II requires only two dependencies. You will need to install these and have them in your path before you try to build.

Java 8 (or higher). You can use either OpenJDK 1.8+ or Sun JDK 1.8+
Apache ant 1.9 (or higher)

You can check if you already have them this way:

java -version # should show "1.8.xxx"
ant -version # should show "1.9.x"

Build the tools

cd Platform/Apple
ant

Put scenario files in place

You will need acquire and place three scenario files into the appropriate subdirectories of Platform/Apple/virtual/ as follows:

Platform/Apple/virtual/data/world/world.xml
Platform/Apple/virtual/data/world/enemies.tsv
Platform/Apple/virtual/data/fonts/font.bin

Build a game disk

cd Platform/Apple/virtual
ant
The resulting disk image will be Platform/Apple/Virtual/game.2mg. Just boot it in an emulator or copy to a real Apple II, and have fun.

Rinse and repeat

Change any of the code files in virtual/src, or update the world.xml file using Outlaw
Go to step 4. The system uses incremental building for speedy turnaround.
