# Only need to run this once per update.

Redox @

Edit your user config to include:

[packages]
hnefatafl-copenhagen = "source"

You should be at least using the packages supplied via include = ["desktop.toml"]. Go to games and open Hnefatafl. After logging in and exiting the application, you’ll have to restart Redox, because the application is buggy.

There are also at least these bugs:

  1. There are no CJK fonts.
  2. On a button press two characters are read in instead of one.
  3. Backspace does not work.
  4. I think you have to restart Redox after entering the application, because TcpStream shutdown is not implemented.

Cargo (Linux, macOS, Windows) @

Dependencies (Linux)

ALSA development files are needed to build cpal on Linux (rodio dependency, hnefatafl-client dependency). These are provided as part of the alsa-lib package on Arch, libasound2-dev package on Debian and Ubuntu, and alsa-lib-devel on Fedora.

The package uses the mold linker. This is provided via the mold package on Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora.

cargo install hnefatafl-copenhagen

At the moment their may be fairly regular updates. If you run into problems, make sure you are running the latest version.
