SilverSprint

A front end for the OpenSprints hardware kit. It allows for the racing of 1 to 4 bikers against each other in a goldsprints style race. The software is free to use and modify and you're encouraged to hold your own races! See LICENSE for more details.

SilverSprint is for OSX (10.7 and up) and Windows (7 and up).

Written in Cinder, an opensource C++ library for creative coding.
The version of Cinder at the time of coding was 0.9.0 [Download]

Troubleshooting

In the event of a crash, a log file will be created in a folder called "logs" in the SilverSprint directory. Please attach this file when asking for support along with any other relevant information.

Code Setup

Windows

1. Clone Cinder 0.9.0 or download via zipped archive. [Cinder Github]
2. SilverSprint wants to be in a directory one above the Cinder root. For example:

- Cinder
   - apps  
     - SilverSprint
   - blocks  
   - docs
   - include
   - lib
   - ...

3. Open the project file for your platform. It will be in SilverSprint/vs2013 for PC.
4. Build and enjoy. There are no external dependencies aside from Cinder itself.

OSX

1. Clone Cinder 0.9.0 or download via zipped archive. [Cinder Github]
2. SilverSprint wants to be in a directory one above the Cinder root. For example:

- Cinder
   - apps  
     - SilverSprint
   - blocks  
   - docs
   - include
   - lib
   - ...

3. Open the project file for your platform. It will be in SilverSprint/xcode/SilverSprint.xcodeproj.
4. Build and enjoy. There are no external dependencies aside from Cinder itself.

Ubuntu

1. Install Cinder NOTE: There might be other dependencies, just read the errors.
2. Clone SilverSprint into a directory one above the Cinder root. Either use 'samples' or create 'apps' like Windows and OSX.

- Cinder
   - examples  
     - SilverSprint
   - blocks  
   - docs
   - include
   - lib
   - ...

3. Build

$ cd Cinder/examples/SilverSprint/proj/cmake/
$ mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

4. Execute

$ cd Debug/SilverSprintApp
$ ./SilverSprintApp
