Freegemas is a GPL2.0 open source version of the well known Bejeweled, for MacOS and GNU/Linux, Windows, Playstation Vita. It's written in Zig 0.13.0 using SDL2. This version is a Zig-based port of the original C++ version by Jose Tomas Tocino. Since the original license is an open source copyleft license this repo is required to use the same exact license.

Installation on OS X

First, head over to ziglang.org and download Zig 0.13.0 or newer.

This assumes that you are already using Homebrew. You will need a few libraries to compile Freegemas:

brew install sdl2 sdl2_mixer sdl2_ttf sdl2_image

Now run the following commands to setup your environment to use Homebrew as a backup location for libraries.

After that, clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/deckarep/freegemas.git

Do an out-of-source compilation and run the program:

cd freegemas
zig build run
./freegemas
