Check "examples/songs/n00bstar-examples" for how to use e.g. the sync feature and there's enough instruments to make a pretty good tune in "examples/instruments/n00bstar-instruments".

Yeah no zips from n00bstar yet.

Aye... I've been lazy as usual. I just sent it to you!

The "--dangerous" switch just means you acknowledge the package is not signed, as it would be if you get it from the repository. It's no more dangerous than if you build it yourself!

I'm looking into releasing it in the official thingy but I want to be sure it works (I mean, you have to run the app in developer mode for SDL to even work... not sure how ready for public Snappy is in reality, the experience was extremely Linux). I already wrote a long-ish description in the snap even.

so this snapcraft gather all the needed library and build the snap automatically from the regular github repository? this is great, thanks for this!

--dangerous o______________o'

BTW, i just read that you can register your snap to get listed in the official snapd repository, and have your snap auto built and included (up to 4 times a day): https://snapcraft.io/docs/build-snaps/ci-integration

Here's also a snap for Ubuntu etc. users: https://github.com/kometbomb/klystrack-snap

git https://github.com/kometbomb/klystrack-snap
cd klystrack-snap
snapcraft
snap install klystrack*.snap --dangerous --devmode

Didn't upload the snap because it has a lot of system stuff in it and it's over 70 MB! Should work on most systems then, though. Also the script downloads everything for you so it's more convenient than doing the whole build by yourself.

BTW, recently I fixed a bug that might have caused some random crashes and will release 1.7.1 very soon. If you people can send me any example stuff (songs or instruments) you think would be useful (or simply cool) I can include them in the next release.

for the examples/instruments, is it possible to get the ones noobstar packaged on his website? the host he linked on his website is down https://n00bstar.blogspot.ca/p/files.html

Oh... hey good call. I haven't checked that in ages. I guess you can poke at Kometbomb for him to include them in the standard package. He's been known to give in to pressure if you call him mean names.

more infos: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/?s=snap ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snappy_%2 … manager%29

it's already supported by ubuntu & fedora and coming to debian (currently on sid, i think).

I got a black window too with the windows binary, with wine on linux, and this error:

wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\mscorsvw.exe"

But I don't bother much with this because I prefer a native binary

I had a working Mac OS X virtual machine, but the file got corrupt after a disk crash so I can't use it anymore at the moment. For Draggs Connor, you could try to install libsdl2-image-dev and libsdl2-mixer-dev with a tool such as brew ( http://brew.sh/ ), and you should be able to compile Klystrack this way.

Can't you compile it?

I have a problem when packaging the .deb file, dpkg just hangs. I was going to simply create a new Linux virtual machine and start from scratch, it could be as simple as the virtual machine running out of memory or so.

Thanks for the binary! I was actually planning to make the Linux download work like the Windows build, that is so it has the libraries included (and so it has 32 and 64-bit binaries and it automatically runs the correct one... used that technique for my game and it seems to work perfectly).
