How best to try out Passion?

[bradford]

Hi, guys.

What's the best way to try out Passion? It won't work with LOVE 5.0, and it isn't obvious from the web page how best to get the current 6.0 build.

I found a reference to your subversion repository by searching forum messages. Is it a good idea to check out and build the latest version of the trunk, or is there a branch I should look at instead? Is there a 6.0 alpha download somewhere?

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, not Windows, so I should be able to build easily from the source, right?

Thanks,

Bradford

http://love2d.org/builds has the latest packaged source, as well as builds for various OSes, including Ubuntu. (Also coffee.) It's not, however, always up-to-date - only as recent as when the build script was last run, which is 4 days ago as of this post. If you want to check out the source and build the absolute bleeding-edge yourself, you can clone the Mercurial repository at http://love.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/love/love and go from there.

Good luck!

Ooh, good! I've seen the shortlog of the last few days, and you guys have made lots of unmissable fixes.

Or, in my case, unmissable bugs...

Hi bradford,

If you meant PÄSSION, it has now been working for some time with the 0.6 builds - Anything from the builds page should make it run for you.

Just take note that I haven't tested it on linux yet.. and I'm making changes!

The object-oriented part, MiddleClass, is far more stable (if it had a number, it would be 0.8-ish) so if you just want object-orientation, you might as well use just that.

Also, I'm preparing a little surprise on MiddleClass and Passion.
