For Developers 🚧

Welcome to the repo, enjoy your stay, please unfuck the code. thanks

Note

Your IDE will scream at you with 200+ warnings when building. That's normal.

Platform	Required
Windows	Visual Studio 2022 with the ".NET desktop development" workload (includes MSBuild, NuGet, and the .NET Framework 4.8 targeting pack)
Linux	`mono-complete` from the official mono repos, plus the `nuget` CLI
All	Steam running at launch time; clone with `--recursive` for submodules

This repository uses git submodules. Either clone with the --recursive flag, or run this command after a normal clone:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Open DuckGame.sln in Visual Studio 2022.
Restore NuGet packages (most IDEs do this automatically).
Set DuckGame as the startup project — not CrashWindow, FNA, Rebuilder, or anything else.
Build the solution with Ctrl+Shift+B.

Add the official monoproject repos (unless you're firebreak, apparently).
Install the mono-complete package.
cd to the solution's directory.
Restore NuGet packages if your IDE hasn't:
```
nuget restore
```
Copy DLL dependencies from ./DuckGame/lib/ into ./bin/:
```
mkdir ./bin/
cp ./DuckGame/lib/* ./bin/
```
Build the solution:
```
msbuild -m -p:Configuration=Debug
```

Important

Steam must be running before launching the game, or it will crash on startup.

Windows — press F5 in Visual Studio to launch in Debug mode.
Linux — run the built executable under mono:
```
mono ./bin/DuckGame.exe
```
