Unable to run the game due to missing resource

[dev-vaayen]

Hi @DTLP,

I have followed the following steps for the game's installation:

git clone https://github.com/DTLP/mini_tanks.git
cd mini_tanks
go run ./cmd/mini_tanks.go

The error that I am displayed with after running the code is:

go run ./cmd/mini_tanks.go
panic: open resources/green_tank_turret.png: no such file or directory

goroutine 1 [running, locked to thread]:
github.com/DTLP/mini_tanks/internal/scene.loadImages()
/home/user/mini_tanks/internal/scene/actors.go:295 +0x105
github.com/DTLP/mini_tanks/internal/scene.init.0()
/home/user/mini_tanks/internal/scene/actors.go:283 +0x17
exit status 2

I am still so excited to play the game, please help me resolve this issue! :)

Hi @Shayah-01,
Apologies for the late response.
Are you sure you are executing go run ./cmd/mini_tanks.go from the root repo directory mini_tanks and not from the cmd directory?
I have followed these 3 commands exactly on Windows, Mac and Linux and it worked no problem

git clone https://github.com/DTLP/mini_tanks.git
cd mini_tanks
go run ./cmd/mini_tanks.go

Alternatively, if you're on Windows, you can try downloading mini_tanks_v0.1.0_amd64.zip and running the compiled .exe from the Releases https://github.com/DTLP/mini_tanks/releases
