Dependency problems?

[xavier2910]

I was checking this out and it looks pretty neat, but I'm new to golang and don't know the fyne library, but I cloned it and was trying to run it (I'm on a windows system so I had to type the cmds in run manually), but it wouldn't build, and I got this output (in powershell):

Running go run textadventureengine gave me similar output:

PS C:\Users\Xavier\Documents\stuff\textadventureengine> go run textadventureengine
package textadventureengine
        imports fyne.io/fyne/v2/app

Do you know what I can do to make it work?

I'm also new to opening issues, so if anything could be clarified or I miss the point slightly, please tell me.

@xavier2910 hey! You're fine on the phrasing and all. Unfortunately I started this project a couple years ago and only worked on it for a few days as a way to learn some Go, and hadn't really used Go before that and haven't used it since. I don't really have any insight. Feel free to steal any of the concepts and organization of the project or try forking it and fixing it up, whatever seems best to you. The project when I stopped working on it was very rudimentary and I was just starting to be able to create, write, and read files. The engine overall is not super useful.

[xavier2910]

Thanks for the prompt answer! I think I'm using a newer version of go, that's the problem. (1.17 vs 1.20) I might fork it.

[xavier2910]

By the way, do you know if there's a good tool for managing different versions of go? I've worked with things such as ghcup or stack for haskell which automatically install the compiler the project is marked for, and am curious if go has a similar tool available.

[moromis]

Like I said, I don't really have experience with Go in any capacity past a few days a couple years ago, but I would assume that there is, since there's things like that for Haskell like you mentioned or NVM for Node, etc.
