Hi, As a Covid project I had a go at converting a windows train simulator program (openrails.org/) written in C#, to C, so I could run it on my linux box using OpenGL.
My version, available from on github (github.com/djw-zr/ZR), has now reached the stage where a single engine can be driven along the tracks to explore the layout. So far I've developed the code using the zig-zag railway route (www.zigzag.coalstonewcastle.com.au/route/downloads/) which is freely available. The reason for this e-mail is that I am concerned that my github version may be missing some key files or instructions - possibly about the needed packages - which are available on my linux system but are not standard. So my request is - if anyone has a wet afternoon and a few hours to spare, that they have a go at downloading, compiling and running the program - at the same time keeping a record of all the problems encountered. If you can then provide me with feedback, I hope to make it easier for other people to try the program out - and maybe even help with further development. Given the summer weather you probably have better things to do, but as I only work on the project from time to time, feedback later in the year will also be welcome. Regards, David Webb. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
