Had to install femtolisp and xterm to run this (by the way graphics right in the terminal are quite dope). Was all worth it, it’s very captivating to play!
Could not play unfortunately, I got the following error
```
eval: variable } has no value
in file fns.lsp
in file ./swamp.lsp
```
This was running under Linux with guix package manager and ```guix shell --pure libsixel femtolisp -- ./swamp.lsp```
After building femtolisp from source (I noticed you shared a different source than available in guix) I got another error message:
divide-error: div0: /: division by zero
in file swamp.lsp
Also I assume I need to play this in a sixel enabled terminal?
Sorry, but I give up.
It mentions in the readme you have to be running a terminal emulator that supports sixel drawing. I get the same error _iff_ that's NOT an emulator supporting sixel.
I suggest trying either Contour or xterm with the flags mentioned in the readme.
This game is very fun! I had to compile femtolisp manually as meson on my debian is too old to compile it for me, but after some time figuring out all of the compilation steps i was rewarded with a working lisp interpreter and a really fun game! Impressive how much graphics one can squeeze out of sixel!
also thank you for your work on 9front
