If you are using Windows, simply download and run the setup program to install Cluedome. Alternatively, you may download the two Zip files, and extract them into the same folder. Then open the folder and run cluedome.exe. You must use this method if you do not have administrator access to the PC.
If you are using Linux, download and extract the source code tarball. There are brief instructions for installation in the README file, and a more detailed description of the configure script in INSTALL. The wxWidgets library is required.
If you are using Mac or some other platform, download the source code and see if you can get it to work. Please tell me if you manage to get the program to work on one of these platforms, along with setup instructions.
Note: If you are using Windows and the setup program does not work on your system for some reason, you can instead use the following two zip files. Extract them both to a single directory, and run cluedome.exe to start the game. You should not download these files if you have used the setup program to install Cluedome.
From version 0.8.3, player assignments will be shown in the game log whenever the game is unpaused. A glitch where the program sometimes crashed if you start a local game while connected to the network has been fixed. A problem with card dealing has also been fixed; now all possible ways of dealing the cards should be equally likely.
I am currently working on a completely revamped system for Cluedome, which should improve both the game and the chat experience. However, it will likely be quite a while before this is ready, so I might also release further updates to the current version when problems become apparent.
There is still no proper computer player, and no in-game detective notes.
If you are having difficulty installing or using Cluedome, please ask for help on IRC.
There are probably still a few glitches. This should be considered beta-quality code. If you find a bug in Cluedome, please send me an e-mail or report it on IRC.
Feel free to look at the source code and make any changes you like. You may e-mail me any improvements or extensions you make. The C++ source code is in .h and .cpp files. resources.rc is the Windows resource file. cluedome.iss is the input file for Inno Setup. I develop Cluedome on Linux, using vim. The board image was made using GIMP. The Windows executable is generated using the MinGW cross-compiler. I use Wine to run Inno Setup to generate the setup program.
