To run it on Linux you need to: tar -xzf Silkworm.tgz cd Silkworm mv main.hs Main.hs make cp Resources/background.png . cp Resources/dirt-texture.png . cp Resources/silkworm.obj . ./SilkwormGame The game menu has a glitch, however: when restarting a game (after getting cought in one of those pits XD ) all text in the menu is replaced by the not-so-appealing textured-box... The app itself is very impressive btw. This may come a little too late; I just learned of ur game.

Please make a library out of that graphics and physics stuff. :-) Interesting. Please make a library out of that graphics and physics stuff. :-)

I am running Leopard and for some reason the background png doesn't load right. Otherwise, it's pretty neat. Pretty cool stuff.

I've only tested in Mac OS X, which has the interesting quality of using the application's "Resources" directory as the "current working directory". I'm betting that this is where you are running into trouble. If you're on a Mac, try "make run" at the command line... it should wrap the game up into a Mac "Application" with the directories in the right spots. If not on Mac, then we can continue to try new things to get it working as long as you're willing... ;) @Fernando: Which operating system are you running on?

However, I'm having problems to run it. After installing the dependencies (OpenGL, pngloader, parsec and another one I can't remember), I tried to run it and just after the window was created, I received the error: SilkwormGame: ~/.../Silkworm/background.png: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) Then I did: cp Resources/background.png ./ Tried to run again and: SilkwormGame: silkworm.obj: openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory) And now I'm stuck. Any idea? Seems pretty nice.
