You have to understand how to package software, how to fix problems with buggy packages, how to apply patches like this – things that you can happily ignore if you’re using Homebrew. You use Nix because it makes it easier to build software – because it lets you specify your systems dependencies in a cross-platform, computer-readable way.Īnd in order to use Nix at all, you have to understand quite a lot about how it works. When I was using Homebrew, there was a sharp line between “software I install with Homebrew” and “software I build from source” (which included any software I wrote myself).īut with Nix… well, you don’t use Nix because it lets you download binaries from the internet. I’ve never had to package something for Homebrew I’ve never tried to write formulae for my own software. I think of Homebrew as just a command line way to download binaries from the internet. But I never would have thought to do that. I’m sure there’s some way to fork the formula locally and figure out how to build it from source. Honestly, it would never have even occurred to me to use Homebrew to patch Emacs. ![]() If I wanted to change something about Emacs, why wouldn’t I start there? It specifies its dependencies it specifies the exact build invocation it uses. Like, if I were still using Homebrew, I could have looked at the Homebrew formula. I don’t need to struggle through a long document telling me in English words how to get it building – someone has already translated the build instructions into a Nix expression that describes exactly what dependencies I need and exactly what to do with them.īut of course… that’s true of any system package manager, right? I can just ask Nix how to build Emacs, and it will tell me. It was every bit as weird and complicated and difficult to learn as everyone said it was going to be, but I stuck with it, and I’m glad I did.īecause now I don’t need to figure out how to build Emacs. wait no come backĮarlier this year I spent some time learning how to use Nix. I want to make a little game.Ī secret weapon called Nix. ![]() That’s just… that’s not how I want to spend my weekend. 1Īctually, I probably wouldn’t have tried to make this change a year ago, because I’ve been using computers long enough to know that it would take me like six hours to actually figure out how to build Emacs, and this tiny little change is not worth six hours of fighting with autoconf. Okay, that was a walkthrough of what would have happened if I tried to make this change a year ago. I dunno we can go through this whole file and eventually get to a working incantation and we can finally build Emacs and start working on the image change.īut our build just immediately segfaults, so we give up. There’s no explicit list of dependencies that we need, but reading between the lines it seems like we definitely need the GCC toolchain, HarfBuzz, maybe something called intlfonts… and some subset of these libraries too, depending on which image formats we want to support: libXaw3dĪnd then maybe we want to compile… -with-imagemagick? But it says that’s not the default because of security reasons. ![]() The installation instructions span multiple pages. Should be a one-line change.īut, of course, that one line change carries with it a heavy price.īecause we’re going to have to figure out how to build Emacs. I’m just going to change Emacs to unconditionally use nearest-neighbor resampling instead of unconditionally using bilinear resampling. Seems like an easy fix, right? I’m not going to try to make this behavior configurable or alter the image API or something complicated. Quick refresher: I’m trying to write tests with pictures in them, but when I scale the pictures up, they get really blurry: But it’s also neat in a very concrete sense: we just ran into a problem with Emacs, and we can fix it. Which is neat in some abstract continuity of software freedom of rights sense. ![]() Of course, even when all those people returned in Endgame, the battle still left plenty of casualties behind among the heroes of the MCU.

![]() You’re not always told where to go and many of the objectives encourage you to explore or find the purpose of an item by yourself. The only rewards you can look forward to are hats, collectible trophies and exchanges with other characters, but even those only offer fleeting chuckles. Pikuniku’s challenge never steps into difficult territory and, alongside the lack of options in terms of ways to complete quests, makes for some rather uninteresting gameplay. It might have trivialized things a bit, but I felt let down that I couldn’t engage in a wobbly kicking match with the bouncer in order to get in. The only way I would get in was by purchasing a pair of sunglasses from the nearby shop. There, I bumped into its robotic bouncer which, after scanning me, concluded that my lovely flower hat –Piku can obtain and wear several– wasn’t stylish enough. ![]() There’s only ever one solution to the requests of its unusual denizens and, in spite of its relatively short length, their simplicity only detracts from the overall experience.īeing tasked with entering the Sunshine Club, I confidently waltzed up to the entrance. Pikuniku also doesn’t allow for much creativity in approaching its objectives. You can only vaguely guess the ball’s trajectory, while many of your kicks will hit your opponent and yet, random and unhinged as it is, it feels so right that I found myself wishing more bits were like it. ![]() Kicking a ball around is one of the most unreliable and imprecise things you’re asked to do, but it’s when Pikuniku embraces this floatiness that it shines the most. You have to improvise when there’s a shortage of hands in your world, I guess. Whether it’s a small stretch of Mario-esque platforming where wrongly timing a jump sends you back to generously placed checkpoints, running away from a giant robot while jumping over and rolling through obstacles or arranging wires to reroute power, you’re dealing with overly familiar gameplay that has been better executed elsewhere.Ī few exceptions do make it in, though, like the Baskick championship, which pits Piku against a local in a match of what’s essentially basketball but played with their feet. This ultimately has no lasting effect on the game world, but I found myself more engaged by fooling around, or just trying to wrestle with the game’s physics while kicking a ball up a slope, than I did tackling the puzzles and platforming required to progress.Īs a platformer, Pikuniku doesn’t lean enough into its crazy, floaty side, focusing on rather bland sequences and mini-games instead. Do it long enough and they’ll start erratically thrashing their own legs about, in an attempt to get you to stop. As soon as you exit the cave in which you wake up, you’ll notice a distinct lack of arms in Pikuniku’s 2D world, which limits your means of engaging with others to speaking or kicking them in the face.Īs humorous as the dialogue sometimes gets, there’s something very satisfying to kicking colorful blobs and watching them helplessly fly through the air for a few seconds. Your first steps as Piku, the red, round protagonist, see you getting used to its few abilities: moving, jumping, rolling and kicking. Yes, this is Devolver Digital-published, why do you ask? It also starts with a pink creature in a top hat enthusiastically offering “free money” in exchange for junk. Pikuniku is the type of game in which one moment you’re rescuing vegetable-shaped blobs stuck on trees, while another sees you invading the realm of a giant demonic piece of toast, in a sequence that pays tribute to classic platformers. |
