Hello there. I was rushing to hand in before the deadline, so unfortunately didn't get the time to publish a build without needing some steps to get everything setup.

I spent some time to make a "bundle" which included the dependencies, but itch won't let me edit the game page as the voting for the game jam is still open.

Frankly, I don't think the game is that great as I didn't reach a lot of my goals for the game jam. If you still want to give it a try, you can download the source code including bundled dependencies from the following URL: https://codeberg.org/dirtdog/wizkeep/archive/main.zip

You will still need to install at least the dependencies "sbcl", "libsdl2", "libsdl2-image". For example, if you are using Ubuntu, I think you can install them with the following command:

sudo apt install libsdl2 libsdl2-image-dev sbcl

Otherwise, install with the package manager of your distribution or follow instructions in the following links:

- https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/Installation

- https://www.libsdl.org/projects/old/SDL_image/

- https://sbcl.org/

If everything is installed correctly you should be able to open SBCL in the wizkeep/ directory and run (load "init.lisp") to compile and run the game.

Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Hi, I tried again with the main.zip link you posted, but now I get this error:

* (load "init.lisp")

If I’m reading it right, I need a deps/local-projects/ folder that wasn’t supplied in the zip?

Hi. Thanks for giving it a try again! I just checked locally, and there is indeed a deps/local-projects/ directory, however it's empty, so it has not been uploaded to Git. If you like you could try to mkdir ...path.../wizkeep/deps/local-projects and give it another try. If it still doesn't work I'm not sure if I can help any more than that unfortunately.

OK, I created that empty directory and that got it working. Thanks!

Great. Kudos for having the patience to get it up and running.
