Guide: Installing G.A.C.K. - Gaming App Construction Kit on Linux with Steam Proton

This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.


1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."

Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.

Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.


2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.


3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.


4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.

What is G.A.C.K. - Gaming App Construction Kit? Features and Description

GACK is a very easy to use game maker that features a lot of possibilities without requiring any programming.

G.A.C.K. started as a competition entry to build a S.E.U.C.K. remake, based on the C64 original. Since then, many changes have been added so the workflow is easier to understand and more comfortable. With the current version G.A.C.K. is a lot more than just a remake. It's a fully featured game maker with export options for many target platforms.
With this App you can create games that can be played by a single person or with two players simultanously on devices that allow multiple controls.
You should be able to distribute your game to many platforms.

Features
GACK has a GUI that is much easier to use with a mouse or touchscreen than with a joystick back then. OK, the Amiga version had that, too, but then there was a very hard limit on visible sprites. That's gone, too. You can produce the enemy occurrence you're used from games like "WarBus" easily on modern hardware.
Did I mention this baby has pixel perfect collisions for everything?
You can spawn attack waves at different visible trigger-positions, thus entering one wave, make ten enemies fly the same route.
The levels can scroll sideways, too. They start at the bottom and move upwards, but when you make them wider than the screen, the players can move sideways, causing the screen to scroll.
Options for horizontal scrollers and jump&run games have been added as well.
The image and animation editors have copy/paste support and some other useful features.
Saved game files are astonishingly small, too. (At least for this century).

How does it work?
Basically you just draw images as "Sprites", that's everything that moves, and "Backgrounds", that's - yes - what not moves.
Next, you define how the animations for each player or enemy would look like.
Then you use the map editor to paint the levels on 2 layers. The background is just for show. The foreground can optionally stop the players, or kill them.
After the scenery is set, you simply add a bunch of baddies, save the game and heat the triggers.

And then?
You can export your game as a standalone game. We also have experimental export to HTML5 and configure an Android-Studio project for you.
This way, you can share your games with friends or even sell them on an online store. Will we see your game on STEAM? How cool would that be.
