Dungeon Cross

A Python + Pygame stand-alone, reimplementation of Zachtronic's Dungeons and Diagrams. I love Picross and Dungeons and Diagrams is an amazing twist on classic nonograms. I wanted to have a stand-alone version of this game to have open in the background while I do other things. Hence this project was born.

If you like this game, please checkout the other amazing puzzle games by Zachtronics.

Running

To either run or compile Dungeon Cross, you'll need to have Python 3.7 (or newer) installed along with Pygame. If you've installed Python with the 'Add to path' option selected, you can run the following in a command prompt to install pygame and pygame_menu:

$ pip3 install pygame pygame_menu

To run the program, you can then run this command from the main game directory: $ python3 dungeon_cross.py

Alternatively, you can download the pre-compiled binaries listed under releases.

Building

Included with this repository is a Makefile for Linux and MacOS and a Batch file for Windows. To run either of these, you'll need to have Python 3.7 or newer installed WITH the 'Add to path' option selected. From there, you can build the game to an binary file by doing the following:

Windows

Double click on make.bat. A command prompt window will appear. It will install the required libraries and build to the dist/ folder.

MacOS or Linux

You will need to have the make utility installed. Open a command prompt in the main game folder and execute the following command: $ make It will install the required libraries and build to the dist/ folder.
