Hey, I'm asking people to do me a favour and check the cross platform builds of Improviz.
It should be really easy, and is much appreciated.
First, go download the right build from the release on GitHub. https://github.com/rumblesan/improviz/releases
Unzip that to somewhere, browse to the folder in your terminal of choice, and then run the improviz executable.
(Double clicking seems to do some weird stuff around changing the working directory. Should be fixed in a later version.)
Once it's running you should be presented with a white window in the top left of your screen. If you're on OSX or a flavour of Linux then you may get errors. If it's not too much trouble, install the following libraries and then try again. On OSX these should be installable via homebrew.
- libgmp-dev
- libxrandr-dev
- libxi-dev
- libxinerama-dev
- libxcursor-dev
Once the window is running, open a browser and go to http://localhost:3000/editor, try copy pasting the following code into the text box and click Send Code.
background(255, 0, 0)
fill(0, 255, 255)
10 times
rotate(time, 3, time)
cube(4)
note: the indentation should be with tabs.
If that works you should see a bunch of light blue rectangles rotating on a red background. Excellent!
If not, then clearly I have more work to do.
Please let me know how you get on, and hit me up for a beverage of your choice should we ever meet.
Cheers
Guy
P.S.
Bonus beverages will be given for
- further useful information around CPU/Memory load on your machine
- error messages displayed
- recruiting other people to test
- acknowledgement that setting up build servers is a black art and I'm a wizard
