What is OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is an open-source reimplementation of Captain Claw, the 1997 side-scrolling platformer. It recreates the game using SDL2 and runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS. You need the original game assets (from your own copy) to play.

Do I need the original game to play?
Yes. OpenClaw is an engine reimplementation, you need the original Captain Claw game files (WAPWorld data) to run it. If you own the original game, you can use those files with OpenClaw.

How do I build OpenClaw on my VPS?
Clone the repository, install build dependencies (cmake, SDL2, libxml2), and compile with cmake and make. On a Cloudzy VPS with EPYC cores, compilation finishes in under a minute.

How much RAM does OpenClaw need?
OpenClaw is very lightweight. A 512 MB VPS is enough to run the game server. Even with multiple players, the memory footprint stays small.

Can I play multiplayer?
OpenClaw has experimental multiplayer support. Host a server on your VPS, share the IP with friends, and play together. Check the project's GitHub for the latest multiplayer status.

Can I create custom levels?
Yes. OpenClaw supports custom levels using the WAPWorld level format. Create levels with the community's level editor tools and load them into your server.
