Thanks for the tips! 😊 oops, that's a bug...

Thanks! 😊 hehe yes, very simple

Woohoo (-:

Yup, in a way it's good it popped up.

Going to pack the assets into exe next time as well. Maybe gracefully handle missing ones, too...

Thank you! 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the controls!

Oh yes, pod racing - that's the name I was looking for. (Swoop is just the name from KotOR I remembered).

I have a longer track drawn on paper, but need to add a "track editor" to move it to the computer . Otherwise, it's pretty tiresome handwiring those positions in code. I struggled with translation of mouse clicks to in-world positions, so left it out for the time being. I want to learn how to calculate that, then definitely add more tracks!

Thanks for the stacktrace,

Looks like my bad - a bug in the lisp-side SDL bindings (missing event type). That's interesting... have to dig into SDL source how that can happen.

Do you have maybe some unusual hardware such as joystick/foot pedals? (Trying to see if such an event type could be coming from).

For now this could be the quickest fix (pushed that to gitlab too):

Ah... sorry for the trouble. 

How are you starting the binary? It needs the 'asset' dir to be in the working dir (so ./racerdemo instead of e.g. ./build/racerdemo). 

In case of linux missing libraries, you could try running with wine64 ./racerdemo.exe.

Or, copying that asset dir from the 'bin' archive to the source dir should do the trick.  Also needs an SDL2 DLL (there's one from Debian in the bin zip).

Travelled three planets just for some tea. Better be the best tea ever. 

Gotta try Fennel... seems to take the nice parts of Clojure.

Loving the vibe! It's a tough game!

Looking good :) Congrats on the engine - Lots of cool macros there!

I had to patchelf --set-interpreter on Ubuntu - but then it worked like a charm (exe has the guix one).

Reminds me a bit of SPORE cell stage, too...
