I noticed that turbo.scm does (getenv "APPDIR") and assumes the result is a string. I did not have this variable set at all, so getenv returns #f and the program crashes. As a workaround I launched the game like: APPDIR="" guile turbo.scm

If you do (or (getenv "APPDIR") "") or something that should take care of this problem.

For anyone on Guix, you can run the game from the source directory like so:

APPDIR="" guix shell guile guile-chickadee -- guile turbo.scm

Thanks for letting me know. I've now fixed this issue on my `main` branch.

How do I run it?

Hi Cadence, sorry that you're struggling to run TR3000. Could you let me know what linux distro you're running?

Also if you could edit the file `turbo-racer-3000` and add the following between lines 8 and 9, then paste the terminal output again:

08 export CHICKADEE_DATADIR="$rootdir/share/chickadee"
09 echo $rootdir
10 cd $rootdir

Thanks!

hello! I'm having the same error when trying to run it on arch linux.

I added

echo "ROOTDIR IS ${rootdir}"

and got

ROOTDIR IS /home/me/Downloads/turbo-racer-3000-1.0

The bundle was produced on Debian (stable), which I think has much older libraries than Arch. I'll produce a second bundle for Arch, and hopefully that will solve you all's problems.

Gene Pasquet201 days ago

You can find a Arch-ready bundle at the following address:

The arch bundle works, thanks!

Gene Pasquet199 days ago

Hi Oxca55le, you can try running the new AppImage package instead.

Trying the new bundle.

I get the same error until I move the game’s folder to a path without any spaces in it. It used to be in the “Spring Lisp Game Jam 2024” folder, now it’s in “SpringLispGameJam2024”.

I get this new error:

But I already have the freetype and freetype-devel packages installed on my system.

Hi Cadence, you can now get the AppImage for this game, which should run a lot easier: https://gitlab.com/binary-ec/turbo-racer/-/raw/main/turbo-racer-3000-latest-x86_...

Cadence198 days ago

Thanks, that’ll make things easier! It still seems to have some problems though: /tmp/.mount_turbo-ESP3QY/usr/bin/guile-3.0: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Gene Pasquet198 days ago(+1)

Holy crap, we should make this a packaging Jam instead. I feel that 90% of the effort goes there and 10% to actually making the game! 🙄

Cadence198 days ago

I feel that.

Easy of packaging probably depends on which programming language you’re using. Packaging was easy for my Racket game. Even the person running BSD got it working!

Gene Pasquet198 days ago

Hi Cadence. Apparently on Arch linux you can install the `libxcrypt-compat` package, that will get rid of this issue. Otherwise I'm currently trying to build a appimage package (and testing on arch) that will include that library, but it's trying my patience...
