I'm just inserting this into the mailing list thread for now.  More
response to come later...

  I am experiencing some issues with the latest source code from git repo

  well.  There are some bugs introduced from Kiwisauce's latest effort of
  improving the code in response to the feedback from this and other
  communities that I recently contacted helping to spread distribution of
 the
  game.  These will be fixed eventually, but I guess for now, remain
  patient.  He mentioned that he will make announcements (see
  http://www.indiedb.com/games/beret/forum/thread/open-source) when he
  finishes working on an updated release, which should be fairly soon.

 Can I count on you further pushing this game in beret, so I can forget
 about it for now and next time I want to play it'll be fixed?

 I'm happy to help with nix specific things.

  By the way, you shouldn't be thanking me for mentioning the game.
  Instead
  you should be very angry at me.  Though, perhaps I can pursue
 contributory
  evil efforts and monetize on your acceptance and appreciation of
 spreading
  awareness of this game by establishing support groups and other
 profitable
  communities that you must eventually pay for treatment to overcome the
  addiction (which is impossible and therefore I shall have a lifelong flow
  of increasing wealth at my disposal)

 Should've marked the irony more clearly... ;)

 You only replied to me, in case you want to include nix-dev in an
 eventual reply: feel free to quote my mail.

 And exit doesn't save game state, either - but no errors are printed.

good news:
mkdir ~/.beret
mkdir ~/.beret/saves
mkdir ~/.beret/rooms
cd ~/.beret
beret

details:
at least the version shleavy packaged for nixos is not able to
create a config/state dir, except on OSX, it just assumes there is a
saves (and rooms?) folder in CWD (see game.c:818 and following).

bad news:
now it's actually fun to play the game...

I assume you meant you don't use NixOS and are not familiar with nix?

and would like to request if anyone else is available to prepare a 
package for the game.  See 
http://www.indiedb.com/games/beret/forum/thread/open-source





I'll take a go at adding it to nixpkgs. Do you have release tarballs or 
git tags for releases, or should I just use the current HEAD of the repo?

I've packaged beret, revision ae029777be336eea5b6807f1d3e36b9fc48a77c7. 
See

if you're curious about the details.
