Since I now have 3 WIP graphical Scheme games, two inspired by game jams I didn’t finish in time, I decided to cut my scope and do something that I can succeed at in a week.
I’ve done my bare-minimum cross-platform compiling (testing on Mac & FreeBSD), will spend the last day or two fighting Linux & Windows.
Interested to learn how you deploy chez (or other schemes) to Mac. I remember you mentioning something on IRC a while back. Any chance I could get a peek at the repository before the jam ends? Would love to also offer a Mac version. As for linux: there is a guix patch out for AppImage support, in case you use guix: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/73842
I’ll upload the entire repo at once when it’s a little further along, but there’s nothing specific to deployment there.
For command-line, I use the build script in my Chez Scheme module example. This produces a working ‘binary’, package with scheme-script & .boot, or petite & .boot if you can, and you can just ship a dir and launching script, no containers needed. Repeat on each platform, since nanopass arch varies.
