Install and Run instructions #214

Description

@layonferreira

Hello, First congratulations for this amazing product.
I'm Trying to run this on my machine, but struggling too figure out how to start the project, I have downloaded, and executed the install.sh, but after that I'm a little bit lost, could you provide some instructions to get the project running?

Regards

    Hello! The program is still in alpha stage, that is why most things are not working yet. But to make the program runnable, you have to compile the program iself first. The install.sh script only installs the dependencies. To finish your installation, you go to the build folder and run the rebuild-makefiles.sh. Then you run make in the build folder and you get the executable called Minemonics in the said folder.

    Thanks, I manage to make it start, I loaded the world, but as soon as I try to load a population, it crashes.
    Any way, Thank you for your help.

    Several questions regarding your quick runs:

    What planet and what population did you load? Currently the populations
    saved by a previous run can not directly be loaded again (very unfortunate,
    right?). You have to fix the generation number in the population file so
    that it can find the correct generation. In a future release, I will
    definitely clean up such messy solutions, but within the 1 year of
    development, I left such problems to fix for a later time.

    What planet and what population did you load?
    https://github.com/benelot/minemonics/blob/master/Minemonics/build/dist/bin/walkers/Planet-of-walkers/planet.pl
    and
    https://github.com/benelot/minemonics/blob/master/Minemonics/build/dist/bin/walkers/Planet-of-walkers/Population/population.po
    I also found out that
    The program crash randomly on the start(may have something to do with the background image, since it keeps changing).
    Then I have loaded the world.
    And when I tried to load the population the app crash.
    I did not tried to create a new population though.

    Thanks for testing! You should try to create a new planet and population,
    that will definitely work. The planet-of-walkers are not meant to be run at
    the moment. I never experienced crashes at the start up, what linux
    distribution are you using (I assume you used linux, since you could run
    the install script)?

    I will prepare some sample worlds at some point that you should be able to load. Stay tuned!
