Hello, survivors!
For those of you who are curious and want to try it out but don’t want to spend 3 hours compiling (or setting up a cross-compiler.) I’ve started building versions of Cataclysm for ARM architectures. This is the 0.C “Cooper” release, and is ncurses (terminal-only.) Armv6 builds are tested on Raspberry Pi v1, Armv7 builds on the NTC CHIP.
It runs just fine over SSH. I run it within screen; This way I can detach and reattach the game wherever I might connect from. Some actions are slow with weak Arm CPUs, but with some patience it is playable.
2016-08-05 Update: Native Armv7 build added. RaspberryPi 2+3 and other Armv7 devices should see improved performance by using this version.
Enjoy!

Cataclysm ARM Builds

Q: Will this run on X?
A: It has only been compiled and tested on a Raspberry Pi B+ and PocketCHIP. Other ARMv6 & ARMv7-based linux devices may work. The Raspberry Pi 2 is ARMv7, user the v7 version for better performance.
Q: How do I run this on my Pi?
A: I’d use Filezilla to connect over SFTP if you’re running windows, copy the file over, extract with tar -jxvf %filename% and run with ./cataclysm.
Q: It doesn’t work for me!
A: Sorry?
Q: Can you compile me a newer version / nightly?
A: Sorry, No.
Q: I have another question.
A: Use Google or the forum search feature.
