You can run the game through a pre-built binary, available under Releases of this repository.
If you’d rather (or have to) run the game from source, you can set up the game like so:
1. Install a Common Lisp implementation. I’d recommend [Steel Bank Common Lisp](http://www.sbcl.org/), which is robust and available on many *nixes under the package-name `sbcl`.
2. Set up [Quicklisp](https://quicklisp.org/), which is a “package-manager” for Common Lisp libraries.
3. Clone this repo into your Quicklisp projects path.
4. Run or build the game with `make run` or `make build`.
To do so, you can run the following commands, replacing `guix` with your package-manager of choice:
For development, so that you can connect to the game’s REPL with (i.e.) [SLIME](https://slime.common-lisp.dev/), you might want to run the game like so:
`$ USE_SWANK=yes SWANK=… make run`
… where SWANK is the path to SLIME’s `swank-loader.lisp` file, probably at `~/.config/emacs/elpa/slime-*/swank-loader.lisp`.
The game has been tested with both [Embeddable Common Lisp](https://ecl.common-lisp.dev/) and SBCL. It runs perfectly on both, but building a binary isn’t working on ECL at the moment.
