I don't see any releases, where are the binaries?

Hello.

Binaries are going through a transition from raw binaries + data to the AppImage format.

A lot of the work has been done, but there is a bit left to do. I'm aiming to get builds back online very soon.

Thanks for your patience.

@micheg I have released the first test of Solar2DTux in AppImage format.

You can download it below. Please bear in mind that this is just a first test. Building for Linux/Android from the SImulator wont work yet, and there could be other issues. The most important part of this test is to get feedback on it working (as in starting, able to run some of the sample code) on various Linux flavours.

Info below:

Here is the first test AppImage release of Solar2DTux: http://solar2dtux.com/releases/Solar2DTux-x86_64.AppImage

It won't be able to find the Solar2D sample code (for the test), so grab that here if you need it: https://github.com/DannyGlover/Solar2DTux-Samples/archive/master.zip

To run the AppImage, open a terminal then enter these commands:
cd DIRECTORY_YOU_DOWNLOADED_THE_APP_IMAGE_TO

Give the AppImage permission to execute. only needs doing one time

chmod +x Solar2D*.AppImage

run the Solar2DTux simulator

./Solar2D*.AppImage

Please let me know if:

A) It runs on your system.
B) Any errors/warnings you see in the terminal after running ./Solar2D*.AppImage - (including visual artefacts, if any). This is just the first test. The most important part right now is it running at all.

After running it, please report back your findings above, along with:

1. Your operating system distribution. i.e. Ubuntu, Pop_OS, Arch, Manjaro, OpenSuse, Debian etc.
2. Operating system version. i.e. Ubuntu 20.04, POP_OS 20.10 etc.
3. Computer specs (just CPU, RAM and GPU will suffice).

Releases will be moved to GitHub (at last) once I get enough testing reports, and I fix up the remaining issues with the AppImage migration.

Thank you!
