How to build

Linux

• Tested on Ubuntu 22.10
• Tested on Fedora 37

 sh ./RUNME

Windows

• Tested on Windows 10
• Please install msys2 first via https://www.msys2.org/

 sh ./RUNME

Macos

• Install Mac Ports/Homebrew first.
• Does not work with anaconda (help wanted as I do not use anaconda):

 sh ./RUNME

Docker

• Docker (experimental, it builds but cannot find a video display):

 sh ./RUNME.docker.ubuntu
sh ./RUNME.docker.fedora
sh ./RUNME.docker.debian

Hardware Specs

The game should run fine on low end PCs, a half decent graphics card and likely > 4g of RAM. If graphics is a limitation, you could run it in ascii mode. I'd be interested in knowing of any low end specs that people get this PC working on.

Dependancies

OpenGL, SDL2 and Python3 (tested up to 3.11) is needed.
