Could you provide some basic instructions for running this from the source download? I'm not a CL person so I'm not familiar with the prerequisites needed for the quicklisp instructions you already have.

Developer(+1)

Sure.

1. Install sbcl

You can use your package manager or download it from http://sbcl.org/platform-table.html

2. Install quicklisp

Follow the instructions in https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/

3. Extract the zonquerer source tarball to ~/quicklisp/local-projects

4. Run sbcl, type (ql:quickload "zonquerer")

This will load zonquerer and its dependencies, downloading the latter if necessary

5. Type (zonquerer:play)

This should hopefully start the game.


If you have any issues, don't hesitate to ask.

That worked, thanks!

For anyone using Guix that is trying to run this, this is what I need to get the dependencies and start SBCL the right way:

guix environment --ad-hoc sbcl sdl2
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/lib sbcl

I couldn’t get this running on the latest Debian or on Fedora 31; I get “./zonqueror: /lib64/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.33 not found (required by ./zonqueror)” followed by the same message again but with GLIBC_2.32.

I got the same error. This is one of the pitfalls of building a binary release from a distro with a really recent glibc. I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 which has glibc 2.31. Just slightly too old to run this executable.

Small unit wizard tactics! Played very smoothly for me. However, despite my tactical and numerical superiority, team orange kept respawning so the ending, though drawn out, was forordained!

Glad to hear it worked for you ;)

Gotta collect'em all before they become a nuisance :) Maybe keep a wizard or two in each quadrant to save some time when a new Red is spawned.
