[!liars], all of them.

are there other survivors? have they been similarly changed? what was that artifact and who were those terrorists? important questions, all, but they pale in comparison with the most important one:

how the fuck are you going to survive the next 24 hours?


















## engine
starlit is developed against a bleeding-edge version of minetest. it definitely won't work with anything older than v5.7, and ideally you should build directly from master.

starlit is best used with a patched version of minetest, though it is compatible with vanilla. the recommended patches are:

* [>p11143 11143] - fix third-person view orientation

## usage
the ideal way to install [`starlit] on your system is to simply clone the repository with [`fossil]. this way, you can easily update the game whenever it's updated.
~~~
$ cd ~/.minetest/games
$ fossil clone https://c.hale.su/starlit
~~~
game assets are not versioned. to update these, run the following command [*in the root of the open starlit repository] (otherwise the archiver will shit all over your everything).
~~~
$ fossil uv cat asset.cpxz | xzcat | cpio -i
~~~
if, for some unaccountable reason, you don't want to use fossil, you can download a tarball.
~~~
$ curl https://c.hale.su/starlit/tarball/starlit.tar.gz | tar x
$ curl https://c.hale.su/starlit/uv/asset.cpxz | xzcat | cpio -i
~~~
eventually i might make proper release tarballs available that bundle the game and assets together, but the game isn't stable enough to do that yet.
