Try to build and run this and does not work

[kwccoin]

From scratch and after brew install Roswell, the make script does not seem to work.

Any hint how to proceed.

(The Blog point to telnet and/or bitbucket which is no more. Hence I tried this GitHub.)

For your kind assistance.

Hi! I am also curious to hear more about getting this to work. I have gotten as far as being able to launch the title screen, but no further because I am getting some errors Im not yet able to debug (lisp newbie here). Running SBCL 2.3.2, for what that's worth.

It looks like such a neat game, i am eager to get it working :)

I'll take a look at updating it later tonight (I think my utils library has changed a bit and probably broke something).

Unfortunately it looks like recent versions of SBCL and/or Ncurses somehow break the unicode support, which might be the errors you're seeing: HiTECNOLOGYs/cl-charms#32 (comment) If that's the case, I'm not sure how to fix that (I'd have to dive in and try to debug that issue).

If you just want to play, the telnet server has moved:

telnet jam.stevelosh.com

I pushed an update to fix the bitrot from my utils library and updated the README with some basic instructions (I stopped using Roswell long ago). Maybe that will help until someone gets around to debugging cl-charms.

Yup, it's working for me with SBCL 2.3.2 on Ubuntu 22.04.

The only issue I found is that lisps := $(shell ffind '\.(asd|lisp)$$') doesn't work (so I removed it to run). I don't have ffind (unless it's a typo of find?) Anyways, thanks! This will help me learn my own way through CL and Charms :)

Ah, yes, that's https://github.com/sjl/friendly-find -- I updated it to use vanilla find instead for portability.
