POOM

-----------------------------------------------------------

The comment you are about to read is VERY long and contains (terrible) Python code. Read at your own discretion!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Ok, now I'm getting an error when compiling the sample
Poom cart from the Poom SDK... 

In order to do anything in Python to even install the tool chain or use any tool, using a virtual environment was REQUIRED, not optional, because if I didn't, it would scream at me about it being a regulated environment, or something.

This is the python script I used, that I hastily modified for Ubuntu Linux. "REDACTED" is my linux username, which is nobody's business! :) 

-----------------------------------------------------------

cd poom-sdk-master

python3 -m wad_reader --pico-home home/REDACTED/.lexaloffle/pico-8 --carts-path carts --mod-name poom --map E1M1

-----------------------------------------------------------

- it's giving me this error: (this error begins when the compiler starts reading the map e1m1:)

KeyError: 'graphics/tiles.png'

-----------------------------------------------------------

it seems to be having trouble with tiles.png. with what, I don't know. I'm not very good at Python script.

-----------------------------------------------------------

We really could use an updated README for the SDK with updated Windows, Linux AND MacOS instructions. XD

Even when editing the code to work on Linux, it does not work out of the box when following the current instructions.

There is also an issue posted on the github about the level design tutorial in the README producing an invalid map, because simple boxed rooms aren't supported. I wouldn't know, I haven't been able to use the SDK on my machine yet! XD

-----------------------------------------------------------

How do you install the Poom SDK on Ubuntu? the intructions on the Github are for Windows and last night I was banging my head trying to get the SDK and tools installed and working on my Ubuntu Linux machine and then I just gave up. Any help would be appreciated, I donated by the way. :)

Bro how did you make this playable in browser?

download poom, install poom, play poom, poom good, me like poom, me poom suggest friend.:}

Do you ever plan on releasing the tools used to make this?

Still a little masterpiece. Say, do you think you could provide pictures of the vector maps of the levels? I'm interested in understanding Doom level design and it would be cool to see how it was done.
