./ExeLinux: error while loading shared libraries: libGDCpp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd);./ExeLinux

./ExeLinux: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I see there is a libjpeg but the filename is not quite the same as what it's looking for...

So after renaming the libraries and also specifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running. It finally worked. Perhaps you can help it look for libraries more easily.

No worries! I had a blast! Good luck on your next great endeavor!

Hmm. Even after I reload the page a day later, I still don't see my username "eSpot" (as in the screenshot), with time 1:06, which would show up in 11th place.  I played again just now and it seems like the requests to the time server are not returning errors, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't show up. Maybe there was an error that one time yesterday. Oh well, I did get on the board in 17th and I'm happy about that. Fun game! I wish there were more levels.

A bug report.

My username was previously set to jade and I got on the scoreboard.

I refreshed the page, changed my name, beat my score, but my name did not go on the scoreboard.

I'm sad my name is not on the board with my new best time, but I do love the game!

Thanks for the fun! This game has great vibes!

The controls were a bit weird for my controller, but it seems to work on linux. Kinda fun, I'll try it again with friends another day.

I'm happy that you're interested. I think instead of using ASCII codes, you need to use unicode values to see what characters are being typed. Here's a site that maps them out nicely: https://codepoints.net/

In particular, this page: https://codepoints.net/basic_multilingual_plane

Russian uses cyrillic characters, so they are here: https://codepoints.net/cyrillic

It's a fun game and I think it could help people increase their typing speed in foreign languages. I want to be faster at typing in some other languages like Japanese, Russian, Ukrainian, etc.

Does it support non-latin languages? Can can you customize the word-sets?

Okay, I understand. Thank you for your very quick feedback! I hope you make Type Knight 2.

Have a great day!

Hello, I recently bought your game after seeing that it could be customized. However, the game does not handle Cyrillic fonts, like Ukrainian or Russian.  I bought it hoping I could import my own text, but with xclip installed I cannot import Cyrillic text. It also doesn't show up at all when my keyboard is in Russian mode. I think this may be due to the fact that the fonts you used, "Pixel Operator" and "Moderne 3D Schwabacher" only support English and French characters. Please add support for the entire unicode set. There are free fonts that offer the entire unicode set, but they will not look stylish like your game. I don't mind, the game is great already. Please just add a font with better support for all languages.

I don't mind if the interface is in English, I just want to be able to import my own custom data in other languages.

Thank you!

Actually... I see the fonts are exposed, I will try to replace them and see what happens :)

Addendum: After some experimenting, it appears that I can replace the fonts with "noto" font and the monsters will display Cyrillic characters above them, however, I still cannot type anything. I think the game needs to be reprogrammed to respond to all possible keys.

There are a couple comments with several up-votes asking for a linux build. Could you pretty please make a Linux build?

If possible, I'd like to see a Linux release and an android release! :)

Is a linux release possible?

If it had a couple more features it could be more re-playable.
Like, one player gets a town and another player gets a town and you and your friends compete to blow up each other's towns more? I just feel like it has more potential to extract more fun value. Nice graphics, runs fast, clean interface, but feels lacking due to no multiplayer and only one level. I understand it's hard to pick up an old project though. Anyhow, good work either way. It was fun.

I'm using firefox on ubuntu with an adblocker and I can't play games on itch.io

Using Linux I encounter the same issue. I'd like to be able to play it though. It loads and music plays and I can see the menu, but can't click on anything and buttons do nothing.

The game starts and seems to work, but unfortunately it lags too much on my machine to be playable. For a mostly 2D game I wouldn't expect this. I can play Kerbal Space program on my machine fine, which is 3D graphics and complex physics. Hopefully you can test it out on linux yourself some day or perhaps some other machines and tune the performance. I tried to turn down the "effects" but I think that's only the sound effects. Perhaps if there were options for changing the level of graphic detail it would help. Maybe my machine is just bad and processing one type of effect you're using, like anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, bloom, blur, shadows or something like that and if I could turn it down it would be playable. The initial part where it shows the giant 3D space ship is fine, and then the initial drop is fine for just a moment, but then when it reaches the clouds and the other ships and it starts lagging bad. Although it was lagging I did like the feel of the controls and I like drill concept, the mechanics are cool and will either wait for an update to the game or I'll wait till I get a new machine.

I wanted to buy it, but it looks like it's only available for windows. Will there be a linux compatible release?

Hi Vlambeer, I'm in Ubuntu executing the "runner" file and it says I'm missing a file:

./runner: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've tried installing many crypto libraries on Ubuntu but nothing seems to resolve it.

I bought it and I'm loading it from https://quasiotter.itch.io/no-secrets but it says I can't load it. I'm using FireFox on Linux.
