Changing the graphics mode

  • Selecting a resolution in "Settings" => "GFX" => "Windowed resolution" forces the game into the windowed mode

  • Selecting a resolution in "Settings" => "GFX" => "Full screen resolution" forces the game into the full screen mode

Performance

Dust Racing 2D tries to render at least at 60 fps. If you experience very slow performance, try first to set vsync off (Settings => GFX => Vsync).

Another option would be to force Vsync off via your driver settings.

The fullscreen mode is usually much faster than the windowed mode.

Development

Dust Racing 2D is currently being developed on Ubuntu. Building the project on Windows with the (sound) dependencies is a bit annoying, so the Windows builds and installers are also compiled on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with the aid of MXE (http://mxe.cc). The resulting Windows builds are completely statically linked. This works great and is super-easy as also the NSIS installer can be created on Ubuntu.

Building

Please refer to INSTALL document in the sources for detailed build instructions.

The project compiles without modifications at least with GCC, MinGW and Clang. Building the project with MS Visual C++ is also possible and it works, but there's currently no packaging or deployment configuration for it.

Contribution

Please refer to CONTRIBUTION document for instructions.

Release Schedule

The aim is to release a new version every 1-2 months.
