TIC-80 features a PRO version that you can easily compile it for yourself
(just add DBUILD_PRO=TRUE to CMake configure flags).
Out of respect, the package is compiling the free version unless someone disagrees.

Hi Gabriel,

Sorry for the long delay!

We need full sentences and, as per the FSDG, we won’t advertise the
“PRO” version (which is non-free I guess?) here.  So instead I propose
this:

    (description
     "TIC-80 is a fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games.
There are built-in tools for development: code, sprites, maps, sound editors
and the command line, which is enough to create a mini retro game.  At the
exit you will get a cartridge file, which can be stored and played on the
website.")

Another issue: the code bundles quite a few libraries.  We should remove
them in a snippet and use the corresponding packages instead.  Here’s
what I see in the log:

‘sokol’ and ‘wren’ are apparently not packaged yet in Guix.  As a first
step, you could remove everything but these two libraries, leaving a
FIXME about them.

Could you send an updated patch?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hi Gabriel,

ping!

Would you like to send an updated patch with Ludovic's suggestions
included?

Thanks,

I don't have a version fulfilling all the changes Ludo' recommended,
but I got this to build and run on my computer based on Gabriel's patch.

I also tried bumping to the latest version (v0.90.1706) but curiously
that one built fine but segfaults when you try to run it... some
floating point exception.  Just noting that in case someone is picking
this up and trying to advance it.
