Usage

Building

Building is done with CMake. You can build the project by using these commands:

1. cmake -B build
2. cmake --build build

Feel free to adapt those commands to fit your own needs.

On Linux, you'll need to install the OpenGL and GLFW dev packages. For macOS and Android, all necessary dependencies are bundled inside of the repo.

Running

This is currently a command line program. Only one argument is required, that being the path to the APK file you want to run.

./silene test/gd19.apk

You can enable verbose logging with the --verbose flag.
If you like to use GDB, you can also enable debugging with the --debug flag.

If you want to use a newer version of Geometry Dash that splits the APK, the --resources flag will redirect resource loading accordingly.

On Android, you can just run the bundled APK file. The initial menu will prompt you to select an APK file. There is currently no way to enable verbose or debug mode on that platform.
