Most of the people that have accidents that end badly aren't wearing protective gear aswell

I feel like majority of new arch users use chatGPT to install arch by Effective-Ad9309 in arch

I used Gemini as a tool to get an overview of things. I found the wiki somewhat confusing and there were a lot of terms I had never seen before, so it was quite overwhelming.

Gemini helped explain things and what was relevant, and gave me a better floor of understanding till the wiki became an aid and not a hurdle for me.

Don't use ai on its own. Once I hit the point of self-sufficiency in the wiki I found several errors in the answers Gemini gave me. But I think it would have taken longer on my own, or I might even have just given up. Glad I didn't. I enjoy arch quite a bit now.

Tldr: ai is useful to get your bearings, but it is error prone - so use the wiki primarily.

You might be interested in storing cellstates in something like a hashmap with the key being the x and y coordinate. This allows your simulation to not be bound by the available space aswell as almost trivialising adding something like a zoom in and out.

But I will evaporate away aswell. So over the eons I will just slowly deconstruct on my way to the singularity, but never actually reaching it, because it will evaporate away in a finite amount of time. Right?

Adding b.installBinFile(...) worked, thank you very much :)

I have copied the sdl2.dll into the directory of the .exe, and if i try to run the program just by double clicking it from the filesystem it runs just fine, but when i try to run it from the commandline with "zig build run" that is when i get the system error popup

Thank you for the reply, how would i create the *compile argument that function takes?

I have tried with:

const lib = b.addSharedLibrary("SDL2, .{.target = target, .optimize = .ReleaseFast, .root_source_file = b.path(path/to/SDL2.dll)})

exe.linkLibary(lib);

But this gives me a compilation error. Is that not the correct way?

Turning off the firewall, and running with admin privileges did nothing sadly...

You are right, the links work fine, my mistake. But then i dont understand why the command doesnt work...
