Flora Search Aurora

Installation

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, which is robust and available on many *nixes under the package-name sbcl.
2. Set up Quicklisp, 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:

$ guix install sbcl
$ wget https://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp
$ sbcl --load quicklisp.lisp \
	--eval '(quicklisp-quickstart:install :path "~/.local/share/quicklisp/)' \
	--eval '(ql:add-to-init-file)'
$ rm quicklisp.lisp
$ cd ~/.local/share/quicklisp/local-projects/
$ git clone https://notabug.org/jadedctrl/flora-search-aurora
$ cd flora-search-aurora/
$ make build
$ ./flora-search-aurora

For development, so that you can connect to the game’s REPL with (i.e.) SLIME, 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 and SBCL. It runs perfectly on both, but building a binary isn’t working on ECL at the moment.
