"cannot find package" trying to run examples

[cheshire137]

Hi! I'm getting an error with each example I try to run:

Downloads/pixel-examples/typewriter at wonderland (master ✔)
% go run main.go
main.go:11:2: cannot find package "github.com/faiface/pixel" in any of:
	/usr/local/go/src/github.com/faiface/pixel (from $GOROOT)
	/Users/cheshire137/code/go/src/github.com/faiface/pixel (from $GOPATH)

I'm using macOS with:

% go version
go version go1.13.4 darwin/amd64

Do I need to clone faiface/pixel somewhere, or have a particular $GOROOT environment variable?

If anyone else encounters this issue, here is how you can fix it. I'll use the platformer as an example.

In the platformer directory, run go mod init github.com/faiface/pixel-examples/platformer
The output should be go: creating new go.mod: module github.com/faiface/pixel-examples/platformer

Next run go build. When it finishes, you can run go run . to start the demo.

would be nice if someone updated the repo to use go mod for all the examples

I've created #20 to resolve this. Since this repo doesn't get much traffic I'll post an issue in the main repository linking here.

this is what I am getting, after trying out the "Creating a Window" Example and using #17 (comment)
