Hi. I apologize for the off-topic comment, but I couldn't find another way to contact you.
I was interested in trying out Symta and found the source code here (https://github.com/Tanami/symta), but I can't figure out how to bootstrap it properly. Are there either bootstrapping instructions or a more updated, easier-to-bootstrap version available somewhere? If you'd rather respond by email, feel free to email me at arabelladonna -at- protonmail -dot- com.
Hi! That is some ancient long obsolete version somebody forked. Newer version was at my github account, which got banned since I used one of the repositories for a WIP book about my life in Russia, which also criticized America, Trump and American immigration policies with deportation of Mexicans. Some alt-rights reported it and whole account got banned.
For now Symta is still a work in progress. Game development has shown that many improvements can be done, especially in the scoping department. It was originally published mainly to get some feedback from programmers, not for actual practical use. BTW, Symta is not APL based, but Common Lisp based. So if you're familiar with CL, Clojure or Scheme, I would be glad to hear some criticism on them and possible areas of improvement.
I can't manage to launch the game. I'm using Windows 7. Maybe I miss some required directx or something.
Here's the content of my command prompt :
init heap loading configuration loading sprites loading sounds loading tiles loading items loading classes post init libpng warning: Interlace handling should be turned on when using png_read_image
Stack Trace: FIXME: implement stack_trace This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
That is SDL2 thing. I got this error, when tested on emulator with unsupported soundcard. I will update SDL version in future, and maybe even get rid of it in favor of DirectX or OpenGL.

I stored your latest Symta src from your github acc long in 2017: https://vk.com/doc-77686617_659369637
seems it's build 20140901
How to download? It says "Not available on Windows"...
It is a zip archive. Maybe you're using 32bit version of Windows? 32bit OSes are not currently supported.
Putin is GOD!
No. Putin is just a corrupt KGB officer, responsible for many deaths and sufferings.

Thanks for your answer, it solved my issue, I didn't have connected speakers, I plugged speakers into the pc and now it works.
Yeah. I will report it to SDL mail list as error. Games shouldn't crash if people turned off sound.
