I can’t get the game to run unfortunately. It doesn’t output an error, but no window opens up:

$ make
.venv/bin/hy src/macroknight/game.hy
pygame 2.6.1 (SDL 2.28.4, Python 3.11.11)
Hello from the pygame community. https://www.pygame.org/contribute.html

Hi Fuglesteg, sorry for not responding sooner; its really difficult to tell what may be wrong from the log messages. Could you give more information about your system like what OS you're running so I can try in a VM? Thanks!

Hey! No worries. I’m running linux (guix system) with xorg. I agree the log is not very useful, just wanted to show that I’m not getting an error hehe. Maybe there is a verbose flag or something?

I've had the same issue trying to run the game on Debian stable; there the problem can be solved by installing the libsdl2-gfx, libsdl2-image libsdl2-mixer, libsd2-ttf packages. Maybe the situation is the same on Guix? Note that even with those installed, the game takes strangely about 30s to start when it is almost instant on Arch or Debian testing.
