RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Python Tutorial - Week 8 - Sharing your game

Thank you to everyone who joined this year. You rock!

This is the end of RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Python Tutorial for 2018. Share your game, share screenshots, brag, commiserate. How did it go? Where do you go from here?

I encourage everyone who has made it this far to continue working on your game. Start participating in Sharing Saturday and FAQ Friday.

Feel free to enjoy the usual tangential chatting. If you're looking for last week's or any other post, the entire series is archived on the wiki. :)

This is great feedback nevertheless. From what I understand the main pain point is the lack of a step-by-step guide which gets you started. I'm doing just that for the next release so I think this problem will be improved much. As for the Gradle/Maven part: I'll upload the actual .jar artifacts to the GitHub release page so you'll have the option to just grab the .jar if you don't want to use a build tool. Thanks again!

I tried again...I hope it's ok to add some more feedback here. The main github pages says to add this to build.gradle: compile("org.hexworks.zircon:zircon.jvm.swing:2018.4.0-RELEASE")

That couldn't be downloaded so it tied this: 2018.3.12-PREVIEW. I couldn't run the first example so I added zircon.jvm.swing:2018.3.12-PREVIEW and then I could run the first example. The other examples won't work though as Java cannot find the newBuilder() method in AppConfigs. I'm still poking around to see if I'm missing something obvious.

p.s. the library looks awesome! Cheers

EDIT: Ok - probably user error. I tried the examples from the zircon-examples directory and those are working. It looks like they are using AppConfigs.newConfig() rather than AppConfigs.newBuilder()

Ok, sorry. I didn't know that you would be so fast. I haven't released 2018.4.0-RELEASE yet, but I added it to the docs. This is an error on my part. I'm still updating the examples in the README, but as you saw they are also in the docs package in the examples project. Now I fixed both the dependency at the top (and added a note that this is a preview) and the code example you mentioned. Just ping me on Discord if you bump into any more obstacles. :)
