Fancy Free
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
For a game jam, I tried to put together a bit of interactive fiction using GNU Guile for scripting and GTK3 for graphics.
It is a farce about love set in the early 1900s.
The code lives at https://github.com/spk121/burro
If you want to try to build it and run it from source on a GNU/Linux, do
git clone https://github.com/spk121/burro
cd burro; ./bootstrap.sh ; ./configure ; make
Download
Install instructions
For Windows, download the fancy-free.zip file, uncompress it into a folder, and run fancy-free.exe. The first time it runs, it will take a long time to start.
For 64-bit x86_64 Linux, download the fancy-free.tar.gz file, uncompress it into a folder, and run the executable 'fancy-free'. The first time it runs, it will take a long time to start.
Distributing pre-compiled Linux binaries is a nightmare. There is a high probability of failure because we have different shared objects or versions of the GTK3 stack.

I enjoyed this a lot! I built it from source, though:
git clone https://github.com/spk121/burro ; cd burro; ./bootstrap.sh ; ./configure.sh ; make ; ./run-uninstalled.sh
It would be nice if this commandline were given in the readme.
Thanks. Will do.
