keutoi Is syntax of NQP a subset of Raku? 05:28
Will every nqp program syntax check Ok with `rakudo -Mnqp -c` ? 05:29
moon-child hm, not sure if it is a strict subset. #raku-dev may be more helpful. But I will note that raku syntax highlighting works pretty well for nqp
keutoi Hmm, It doesnt' seem to be so. I just tried an example which complained undeclared routine `subst`. 05:37
I was trying to see if `flycheck-raku` could be modified to syntax-check `nqp` files by just adding `-Mnqp` option to the `raku -c` command invocation. 05:38
Does nqp have syntax check option?

yjh Hello. Is this the right place to be to ask about a problem installing a module? 06:14
06:20 Doc_Holliwood left
moritz_ sure, go ahead 06:25
yjh I was trying to install Digest::SHA1::Native which uses NativeCall. It uses 06:26
constant SHA1 = %?RESOURCEDS<libraries/sha1>; 06:27
which it passes to is native ( SHA1 ) { * }
when trying to build it, I got
Cannot locate native library 'C:\Users\Public\test\raku\sha1\resources/libraries/sha1.lib': error 0xc1
when changing it to constant SHA1 = <absolute path with forward slashes here>, I was able to build it. 06:28
(on windows)
sorry, that should read %?RESOURCES<libraries/sha1>; 06:30
Please let me know if I can provide any more information or if it looks like I have something set up wrong. 06:39

holyghost I've written Game::Quest v0.1.4, a Game kit for old Sierra Quest games such as King's quest, space quest. If you override Room, Player and Quest you can make them. Needs a collision system and a keyboard interface for making games out of it. 09:04
keyboard input without mouse for talking can be done by a fuzzy associative matrix 09:09

andinus yjh: it's trying to look for sha1 file under libraries directory 12:58
maybe try changing 'libraries/sha1' to 'libraries\sha1' to see if it works 12:59

dwhk I'm looking for a raku equivalent to Module::Starter and found App::Assixt. So I tried `zef install App::Assixt` but that throws an error: "[App::Assixt] Please note that a 'META6.json' file was found in '.', of which the 'provides' section was used to determine if a dependency is available or not. Perhaps you need to add 'App::Assixt::Test' in 13:12
the <provides> section of that file? Or need to specify a directory that does *not* have a 'META6.json' file?" What do I do next? zef install worked fine for other modules.
lizmat dwhk: you probably want to have a look at App::Mi6
dwhk lizmat: thanks. that installed without problems. I will try it out. 13:14

spacekookie Is there some documentation about how to package raku programs for distribution maintainers? 13:35
Like, how to structure a package with dependencies to make sure a program can be correctly run, etc? 13:36

Geth doc: 000ff6852a | (Daniel Sockwell)++ | doc/Language/regexes.pod6
Clarify where rx declarator allows adverbs

A regex declared with `rx` allows adverbs both before the delimiter (`rx:s/pattern/`) and after (`rx/:s pattern/`), but the docs only mentioned the first option. This fixes that, and brings the rx section of the page into alignment with the adverb section.

holyghost v0.1.5 of Game::Quest has been uploaded, it has a BAM (bi-assoc matrix) system for parsing "look at" in a row and "body" in a column then firing an action (func for now) 15:05
Then there's a LoopObject class for having in-game movies/non-keyb input game loops 15:06
or anything like that, it should just be an SDL loop
the thing is based on the SDL package 15:07
Everything is left to clean code so you can jam about your games, and as someone told me, you better write scenarios :-) 15:08
the BAM is based on a hacker's understanding of an old Sierra text interface. You type "look at room" not "I want to look at the room" 15:09
It was made on a mac 11
If you grok the raku SDL package, you're set for making old Sierra adeventure games 15:11
I've not put any examples in it
anyway, SDL events understanding should help 15:13
Game::Quest should be usable right now, I'll see what I can add later on 15:14
I'm off for the weekend, HAND

tellable6 2021-08-30T22:50:51Z #raku <tbrowder> tonyo have you seen my recent Data::Dump issue? would you consider a PR for the env var suggestion? or, better, change the api and and the default behavior (with a PR)?
tonyo .tell tbrowder a PR would be great - i like the idea of using env vars to override defaults and leaving the defaults as is 15:45
tellable6 tonyo, I'll pass your message to tbrowder

I am reading this - cro.services/docs/reference/cro-we...nditionals , still not sure if I can use if else statements in cro templates 18:28
lizmat melezhik: you can not, afaik 18:34
<?foo> ... </?><!foo> ... </!>
is the closest thing I know
melezhik yeah, already applied something similar 18:39
thanks
lizmat it would be nice to have something like that, but the nature of HTML sorta makes that pretty difficult 18:40

melezhik looks I can't refer to hash element withing cro template conditionals? 21:06
I get template rendering error
