From 42cca5055d0ab30b03e5c0227ffc854584994592 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Thompson Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2023 13:37:46 -0500 Subject: Fix string in text example. lol I was just testing performance of giant strings and didn't mean to commit it! --- examples/text.scm | 39 +-------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 38 deletions(-) diff --git a/examples/text.scm b/examples/text.scm index d4d6489..be79edc 100644 --- a/examples/text.scm +++ b/examples/text.scm @@ -8,44 +8,7 @@ (define stats-text "") (define stats-position (vec2 4.0 704.0)) (define position (vec2 140.0 0.0)) -(define text - "This is the \"Are you tired of *this*?\" part of the infomercial.

In the old days, -this meant manually installing the dependencies through the distro package manager. If things are -organized, the project README will have a list of what is needed and it's not so bad. If things are -less organized, it's a cycle of installing packages and running `./configure` or whatever until it -succeeds. Hopefully none of the dependencies are too new to be found in the distro. And when -working on multiple projects, hopefully there's no conflicts between the dependencies required for -each of them, because your development environment is the entire system and there's no way to -isolate different projects from each other. - -Of course, different programming languages provide their own sets of tools for managing multiple -projects.

Instead, just create a disk image per project that encapsulates this hodgepodge of -package managers and bespoke, artisinal, small-batch builds that gets run in isolation via Linux -namespace magic. It works, of course, but I think Dockerfiles are clunky and the rather extreme -level of isolation is usually unnecessary and makes things overly complicated for projects that need -to interact with, say, the windowing system of the host computer. A lot of people are happy with -Docker, though. Maybe you are, too. That's fine! - -What I really want to say is \"Computer, provision a development environment containing Guile 3, -SDL2, make, and texinfo!\" and have Majel Barrett-Roddenberry tell me that all of those things have -been made available to me on my host system.
