# prj tiny

A small first-person sword combat game built with [raylib](https://www.raylib.com/). Fight a single enemy in a starlit arena. Built as a learning/prototype project.

## ~features

- **First-person melee combat** — left-click to swing your sword
- **Procedural audio** — sword swings, footsteps, and ambient drone are all generated in code (no audio files needed)
- **Enemy AI** — the enemy auto-attacks on a randomized timer and turns to face you
- **Player death & respawn** — die and you respawn after 2 seconds
- **Title screen + pause menu** — mouse-driven UI with fade transitions
- **Twinkling starfield** — 200 stars with per-star phase animation
- **Streaming background music** — drop in your own `music.ogg`

## ~controls

| Action | Input |
|--------|-------|
| Move | WASD |
| Look | Mouse |
| Swing sword | Left click |
| Pause | ESC |
| Start game | Click PLAY or ENTER |

## ~requirements

- [raylib](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib) (built with audio + OGG/Vorbis support)
- A C compiler (gcc/clang)
- `music.ogg` (optional — place next to the binary)

## ~build

```bash
gcc tiny.c -o tiny -lraylib -lm -lGL -lpthread -ldl -lrt -lvorbisfile -lvorbis -logg
```

For a static build (recommended for distribution):

```bash
gcc tiny.c -o tiny -Wl,-Bstatic -lraylib -lvorbisfile -lvorbis -logg \
  -Wl,-Bdynamic -lGL -lm -lpthread -ldl -lrt
```

## ~run

```bash
./tiny
```

> `music.ogg` is loaded relative to your working directory. Place it next to the binary if you want background music. The game runs fine without it.

## ~how it works

The game is a single C file (~625 lines) with no external assets except an optional music file:

- **Graphics:** raylib's 3D immediate-mode API (`DrawCube`, `DrawCylinderEx`, etc.) for the world + sword models, 2D overlay for HUD/menus
- **Audio:** sounds are synthesized at runtime into `Wave` structs and loaded via `LoadSoundFromWave` — no `.wav` files needed
- **Combat:** sword swings are time-based with damage applied at the swing midpoint, gated by a `damage_dealt` flag to prevent multi-hit
- **Camera:** raylib's built-in `CAMERA_FIRST_PERSON` mode
