Overview

Command linefire is the Linefire game runtime. It loads the player asset and the opening map from the game data and runs the game.

By default the data is read from the bundle embedded in the binary, so the executable runs standalone with no external files. Pass -dir to read from a directory instead (dev iteration, or community content): the directory holds gameassets/ and music/ the same way the repository root does. -mapdir and -map pick which subdirectory and map to open, so the map editor's playtest key can launch the game straight onto the stage being edited.

Usage:

linefire                       run the campaign from the embedded game data
linefire -dir .                read gameassets/ and music/ from the current directory
linefire -dir . -map map0005   start the campaign on a specific stage (playtest)
