I had tried that. It opened a console window I couldn't seem to interact with. Incidentally, I had CMake installed on my Windows PC, so I tried to run the folder through it. No dice; it compiled successfully but there was no executable for me to launch anywhere in the finalized folder (disclaimer: I've never compiled with CMake before and only downloaded the software to use it inside GameMaker as an extension; might have set things up all wrong).
If it turns up the problem was not on my end, I'll be waiting to try S.O.D. on the next DD.

A text field is indeed visible when the executable first boots. This time I tried typing a longer string and could see the text after a few keystrokes -- as I said, though, the leftmost part of the window is cut off and attempting to move it will take the text box out of view. Also, I can't resize the window or switch to fullscreen (tried "F", "F4" and "F11"). Any commands I should try? It will probably accept them even if the input line is not visible.
