Saltwake Downloads

Stable releases and developer snapshots for Saltwake.

Use the stable release for everyday tides, or choose a developer snapshot when you want the newest features and fixes before they reach a stable release. Windows and macOS builds are portable: unzip and run, no installer required.

On Linux, choose the Linux AppImage download. It runs on any modern distribution, including Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, and openSUSE. Mark the file executable, then run it. The game updates itself in place from inside the AppImage. The Linux tarball remains available if you prefer a folder you unzip yourself.

Saltwake v0.2.2

Release notes

Added

  • The player's manual ships with the game. Releases now carry
    docs/Manual.html next to the executable — the loop, every key, all six
    contests, and the tips worth knowing — so game managers that offer a
    game's documentation, like AGNow, find something a player would actually
    read.

Changed

  • The manual is the only document a release offers a player. A game
    manager scanning the install folder used to list numpy's
    entry_points.txt, setuptools' vendored lorem ipsum and thirty-odd
    dependency licenses buried in _internal alongside the manual. The
    packaging bookkeeping is gone. The licenses still ship — they have to —
    merged into a single extensionless Third-Party-Licenses file at the
    bundle root, where the MIT license now also sits as LICENSE: present
    for anyone who looks, never offered as something to read.
  • Design notes moved from docs/DESIGN.md to DESIGN.md at the
    repository root, leaving docs/ player-facing by contract. The README's
    How to play section now points at the manual instead of duplicating it.
