Just an experiment for something else I was working on, but figured someone else may be intrested. Not well tested, but the game does boot and doesn't crash.

Did you post the wrong link?

You forgot to public the repo I think?
Or... forgot to push to it?
Idk something

Could be a giant joke going over our head or something lol
thorn thunder
Lol... tru
sour pelican
..so no head?
thorn thunder
I know what headless means in the computer sense, though I'm not sure how that'd work for a graphical video game
sour pelican
explain
thorn thunder
Headless means well... it just runs with no input of output given or able to be directly given
Like if a machine is running headless you need to network into it to give it input
That's an over simplification but more or less correct iirc

You remembered how to type like yourself though:p
And like me

oh this is sick
blazing charm
Okay
Oh yeah I also found a way to run it in a docker container with no graphics but having the graphics api still working
Cause I realized my code kinda relied on Font.getWidth working but I couldn't properly stub it (it's too hard to implement)
I can share later after work
blazing charm
docker run -v .:/pwd -v ./Mods:/root/.config/love/Mods -it --rm alpine /bin/ash
apk add xvfb love
Xvfb :99 -ac &
LD_PRELOAD=/pwd/liblovely_alpine.so love /pwd/Balatro.exe
This allows you to run without the mod (and full functionality). If you are using this for smth you definitly want to make a dockerfile to install the packages instead of it hapening everytime you run it
alpine can't use a regular build of lovely because it uses musl. You can't build a dylib for musl with the standard rust toolchain so you need a modifed one. This has been pakcaged in the alpine repos so you can just apk add rust cargo then cargo build --package lovely-unix --release
or you can use these to save time
(they might be different commits, they were built on different machines at different times)
(as a note the docker container has it's save at /root/.local/share/love/Balatro which is not where lovely's mod dir is)

okay yeah this would actually be awesome for remotro
the issue for remotro's protocol either the game must assume a running client or the client must assume a running came to set up a connection, having a running docker server that would guarantee that balatro is running would be legitimately awesome for making clients better

pretty great way to regression test lively builds

pretty great way to regression test lively builds
yeah, also with what im working on you could meaningfully test any mod that does not change the fundamental mechanics of balatro too
blazing charm
for lovely you don't really need to know, as you would just need to trigger your loading working and then compare dumps
