have you tried the visrc.lua file in the repository root? You can do any `set`
command in there for your defaults. See my other mails in this thread.

I have vis checked out in ~/code/vis and just set an
`alias v="VIS_PATH=~/code/vis ~/code/vis/vis"` for my shell. Works fine so far.

Heyho Andreas,

I just pushed a patch introducing the error messages. slock still tries for a
second to get the grab with the cover window already visible, but when failing
you can see the error message in your terminal.

[dev] Pseudo-3D shooter written completely in awk using raycasting technique

[Marc Collin]

A friend told me about something you don't see every-day and I'm sure
people here are going to enjoy. [0]
It's a game inspired by the classic Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. The
novelty? It's a single awk file with ~650 lines of code. Wall
rendering is done using ray casting. Monsters and projectiles are
added after that as sprites. Ray casting is a simple rendering
algorithm that doesn't require any 3d modeling or complex computation.
Let me know what you think.

Best wishes.

Saw it on HN the other day, tried it out for a bit. Kind of hard to
use but I was surprised nonetheless.

Hi there,

I installed/set up ssl: less error messages.
Then it couldn´t find st: I made sure it was there.
Still no success.

Then I tried UBUNTU: same thing, couldn´t save. But
printing to a PDF-file worked and the text was readable.

FreeBSD must be a bit special; I can live with that
and will probably run UBUNTU32 under OpenBSD in compatibility
mode.

Tom.

The thing this project tought me is that awk code can actually be clean.
In my mind it looked like perl (because that's what it looks like when I
have to use it...) but I have to review that notion.

For  download just see your config.h, where the command for the download
is defined. You can change it to show some more debug info.

The print thing is a font problem, just install more.

Markus - Setting it to 0 worked very well.
Will try to get my head around getting the Delete key to work on st now.
Thanks.
