Now we can parametrize Higan locally.
By default, guiToolkit = "gtk" and profile = "performance" (the accuracy
profile is seriously slow on my machine :) )
Closes#4340
Sound of Sorting is an array-sorting visual+sound demo program.
It shows an array as a list of horizontal bars, and realizes a
step-by-step sorting of it. Moreover, it colorizes and emits a
"8-bit-game-like" sound throughout its execution.
Closes#4341
Now builder.sh will install a higan-config.sh script
to write auxiliary stuff on $HOME/.config/higan directory.
That way, higan searches locally and runs cleanly.
Obviously it's a hack, but the only other way is to do a huge patch on
upstream sources; personally I think it is better to work that type of
thing directly on higan sources.
Higan uses a lot of hardcoded paths when it looks for runtime files
as shaders, icons and mainly BIOS files. So, we made a q&d wrapper
script: it copies all these files to $HOME/.config/higan in the 1st
invocation.
Higan is a cycle-accurate Nintendo multi-system emulator
It is a preliminary release for Nix - I need to investigate
some issues about install process and hardcoded paths...
(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
