Note: your IDE will scream at you with 200+ warnings when building, which is normal

Building on Windows

• Make sure you have .NET Framework 4.8 installed and have a functioning IDE (like Visual Studio) for C#
• Make sure the Startup Program leads to the exe produced in the ./bin folder after compiling
• Restore the NuGet packages (most IDEs automatically do this anyway)
• Build the solution with Ctrl+Shift+B
• Run the game in Debug Mode with F5 (will crash unless Steam is running)
  • Make sure the currently selected project is DuckGame and not CrashWindow/FNA/anything else

Building on GNU/Linux

• Add the official monoproject repos (unless you're firebreak appearantly)
• Install the mono-complete package
• cd to the solution's directory
• Restore the NuGet packages if your IDE hasn't
  • nuget restore
• Add missing DLL dependencies from Windows located in ./DuckGame/lib/
  • mkdir ./bin/
  • cp ./DuckGame/lib/* ./bin/
• Build the solution
  • msbuild -m -p:Configuration=Debug
• Run the game (will crash unless Steam is currently running)
  • mono ./bin/DuckGame.exe

Building on macOS (Mono)

• Install build dependencies with Homebrew
  • brew install mono mono-libgdiplus nuget cmake sdl2
• Build the game and native macOS libraries
  • ./scripts/build-macos.sh Release
• Run the game from the build output
  • ./bin/DuckGame.sh -nosteam
  • Omit -nosteam when Steam is running and steam_api is available
• Package app bundle and DMG (shell script)
  • ./scripts/package-macos.sh --configuration Release --dmg
• Sign in parallel, package, and notarize (shell pipeline)
  • ./scripts/release-macos.sh --identity "Developer ID Application: Your Name (TEAM_ID)"
  • Set up notary credentials once: xcrun notarytool store-credentials "DuckGameRebuilt-macos" --apple-id "you@example.com" --team-id "TEAMID" --password "app-specific-password"
