Re: minisphere 3.0b1 (stable: 2.1.6)
Reply #997 –
After almost 2 months of development, the first beta of minisphere 3.0 is available. Make sure to test drive SSJ and let me know of any issues. It still needs polishing, but should be functional enough to use for actual debugging.
I recommend uninstalling previous versions of minisphere before trying the beta as the engine executables were renamed, so the old files may cause conflicts/confusion. Note also that Sphere Studio is no longer included in the download--that will have to be installed separately now for anyone that wants it. The GDK plugin
is included, though, and will be picked up by Sphere Studio 1.2.
If you choose to add minisphere to the PATH, the command to run a game on the command-line is:
spherun <gamepath>If you omit the path, it will list available command-line options.
edit: By the way, minisphere is available on Ubuntu 14.04 now, through PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fatcerberus/minisphere
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install minisphere
This probably won't work on later versions of Ubuntu, e.g. 15.10 due to Ubuntu's braindead PPA packaging system (you can't upload multiple packages with the same version number, even if they are built for a different Ubuntu version). So I'll be posting .deb packages sometime in the near future.
edit 2: Alright, the .deb packages are now available for direct download for those who can't get it through APT.
