Install and Run instructions
Hello, First congratulations for this amazing product. I'm Trying to run this on my machine, but struggling too figure out how to start the project, I have downloaded, and executed the install.sh, but after that I'm a little bit lost, could you provide some instructions to get the project running?
Regards
Hello! The program is still in alpha stage, that is why most things are not working yet. But to make the program runnable, you have to compile the program iself first. The install.sh script only installs the dependencies. To finish your installation, you go to the build folder and run the rebuild-makefiles.sh. Then you run make in the build folder and you get the executable called Minemonics in the said folder.
Thanks, I manage to make it start, I loaded the world, but as soon as I try to load a population, it crashes. Any way, Thank you for your help.
Several questions regarding your quick runs:
What planet and what population did you load? Currently the populations saved by a previous run can not directly be loaded again (very unfortunate, right?). You have to fix the generation number in the population file so that it can find the correct generation. In a future release, I will definitely clean up such messy solutions, but within the 1 year of development, I left such problems to fix for a later time.

What planet and what population did you load? https://github.com/benelot/minemonics/blob/master/Minemonics/build/dist/bin/walkers/Planet-of-walkers/planet.pl and https://github.com/benelot/minemonics/blob/master/Minemonics/build/dist/bin/walkers/Planet-of-walkers/Population/population.po I also found out that The program crash randomly on the start(may have something to do with the background image, since it keeps changing). Then I have loaded the world. And when I tried to load the population the app crash. I did not tried to create a new population though.
Thanks for testing! You should try to create a new planet and population, that will definitely work. The planet-of-walkers are not meant to be run at the moment. I never experienced crashes at the start up, what linux distribution are you using (I assume you used linux, since you could run the install script)?

I have used Linux mint 17.3 x64 Xfce edition. https://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=214
I will prepare some sample worlds at some point that you should be able to load. Stay tuned!
