unplayable, game resolution starts out too big for my screen to view.

I had the same exact thing happen to me. I believe the build instructions are mildly flawed. Here's what worked for me, on Manjaro, assuming you have a toolchain, cmake, and conan installed.

```

# do conany things

conan install . --build=missing --settings=build_type=Release

# generate cmake cache using the conan stuff

cmake --preset conan-release

# build the `run` exe

cmake --build build/Release

# run the exe

build/Release/run

```

Text flies by. i'm not a speed reader. but other than that it's a fun little game. Is there a source repo one can look at? it is a code jam, after all.

I still get a seg fault.. and here's what is coming out of my debugger. I don't have time to go all-in to figure this out, but it seems like i would need to debug the HaGameLite library to figure out what's going on.

I'll give it a go this afternoon and let you know what happens.

Witness: Trolled Edition!!!!!

Fun concept! I couldn't get the linux version to work on my system, even tried building it and got a seg fault... played the web version and it was a little buggy (lots of rubber banding), but the concept of the game shines through. simple, easy to understand.. easy to get lost *cough*

Considering the multitude of jams this has been entered into, i find it hard to believe that it was made FOR this jam, or within the allotted time, to say nothing about theme adherence.

Reminds me of Zaxxon for the Atari 2600, but from a pseudo 3d perspective!! Great job!

Friggen mouse! I don't know if it's because I suck or if the gameplay is crap... usually means the game is fine!

For those of us who might be unwilling, or in my case unable, to download and run windows applications. would you consider uploading a video your entry?

I love the use of the shapes, colors, and .... shiny things. only thing missing was some ale! ... great concept!

fun use of circles! #PGEtinker!

fun concept. great "story" execution. great art. great music. gameplay: ridiculously hard! had to stop because of RSI...

i just generally suck at keyboard and mouse platformers.. it's a me thing..

Love the concept. I sucked at it but it was still fun to play it!

WHY has there been no theme speculation topic here yet? COME ON FOLKS!! Lay it on me!

Is there an opposite to balls? because that's probably what the theme is gonna be, i can feel it!!!

I'm looking to get an idea of what OS/Toolchain combinations people are planning to develop with, this time around. If you're comfortable sharing that information, click the link and vote for the option that makes the most sense for your environment.

Also, they have cookies over there, uhhh allegedly, so I'm told... OKAY you caught me, there are absolutely no cookies over there...

So.. what do you all think? Is it going to be balls this year?

Tried to play on linux and was hit with this error before being able to actually run it.

jon@Jonny-PC:~/Downloads$ chmod +x game-of-life-linux
jon@Jonny-PC:~/Downloads$ ./game-of-life-linux
./game-of-life-linux: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.29' not found (required by ./game-of-life-linux)

Adding the switch    -static-libstdc++    to your compile command (assuming g++) will statically link the C++ standard library to avoid this on other systems.

oh that would be evil on the level of

#define true (rand() % 20 == 0)

Linux is awesome. I just love the meme about it, plus I didn't have time to do a serious code jam entry.

couldn't play... i don't do rars

I got this error when I tried to extract your RAR file.

I got this error. It was a simple fix to rename the .pck file, but figured I would let you know about it so you can update your release. This was for the linux version, I'm not sure if the same problem exists with the windows version.

After I solved the problem on my own, game play was interesting and has lots of potential!
