It's ergonomic in that there is no mouse input and a very clean interface, allowing you to juggle less inputs and avoid awkward mouse motions.\n\n![Screenshot of Cacophony](doc/images/screenshot.jpg)\n\n[Buy Cacophony](https://subalterngames.itch.io/cacophony) (or compile it yourself).\n\n[User-end documentation.](https://subalterngames.com/cacophony)\n\n[Discord Server](https://discord.gg/fUapDXgTYj)\n\n## How to compile\n\nI compile Cacophony with Rust 1.74.0 for Linux, MacOS, or Windows. Below is a list of operating systems I've tested:\n\nLinux:\n\n- Ubuntu 18.04 i386 with X11\n- Ubuntu 18.04 x64 with X11\n- Ubuntu 20.04 x64 with X11\n- Ubuntu 22.04 x64 with X11\n- Ubuntu 24.04 x64 with X11\n\nMacOS:\n\n- Catalina 10.15.7 x64\n- Ventura 13.2.1 Apple Silicon\n\nWindows:\n\n- Windows 10 x64\n\n### All platforms\n\n1. Install Rust (stable)\n2. Clone this repo\n\n### Linux\n\n#### Debian 11\n\n1. `apt install clang cmake speech-dispatcher libspeechd-dev pkg-config libssl-dev librust-alsa-sys-dev`\n2. `cargo build --release --features speech_dispatcher_0_9`\n\n#### Debian 12\n\n1. `apt install clang cmake speech-dispatcher libspeechd-dev pkg-config libssl-dev librust-alsa-sys-dev`\n2. `cargo build --release --features speech_dispatcher_0_11`\n\n#### Ubuntu 18\n\n1. `apt install clang cmake speech-dispatcher libspeechd-dev pkg-config libssl-dev alsa`\n2. `cargo build --release --features speech_dispatcher_0_9`\n\n#### Ubuntu 20\n\n1. `apt install clang cmake speech-dispatcher libspeechd-dev pkg-config libssl-dev alsa librust-alsa-sys-dev`\n2. `cargo build --release --features speech_dispatcher_0_9`\n\n#### Ubuntu 22 and 24\n\n1. `apt install clang cmake speech-dispatcher libspeechd-dev pkg-config libssl-dev alsa librust-alsa-sys-dev`\n2. `cargo build --release --features speech_dispatcher_0_11`\n\n### MacOS\n\n1. `cargo install cargo-bundle`\n2. `cargo bundle --release`\n\n### Windows\n\n1. `cargo build --release`\n\n## Set the `data` directory\n\nCacophony's default data directory is located at `../data`. To set the default data directory at *compile time*, set the `CACOPHONY_BUILD_DATA_DIR` enviroment variable:\n\n```bash\nexport CACOPHONY_BUILD_DATA_DIR=/usr/share/cacophony\ncargo build --release\n```\n\n## Tests\n\nTo test, just `cargo test --all`.\n\nSometimes when debugging, it's useful to create the same initial setup every time. To do this, you can pass input events in like this: `cargo run -- --events events.txt`\n\n...where the contents of `events.txt` is something like:\n\n```\nNextPanel\nAddTrack\nEnableSoundFontPanel\nSelectFile\n```\n\n## How to run\n\nYou can run Cacophony like any other application or you can use Rust's `cargo run` to compile and execute.\n\n### Linux\n\nThere are two ways to run Cacophony:\n\n1. Copy + paste `data/` into the output directory (`target/release/`). Open a terminal in `release/` and run `./Cacophony` .\n2. Instead of `cargo build --release`, run `cargo run --release` Include the `--features` listed above, for example `cargo build --release --features speech_dispatcher_0_11` on Ubuntu 22\n\n### MacOS\n\nThere are two ways to run Cacophony:\n\n1. After compiling, double-click `Cacophony.app` (located in `./target/release/`)\n2. `cargo run --release` This will compile and launch the application but it won't create a .app\n\n### Windows\n\nThere are two ways to run Cacophony:\n\n1. Copy + paste `data/` into the output directory (`target/release/`) and double-click `Cacophony.exe` (located in `release/`)\n2. Instead of `cargo build --release`, run `cargo run --release`\n\n## Upload\n\nAssuming that you are Esther Alter and you have the relevant credentials on your computer, you can upload the website and create itch.io builds by doing this:\n\n1. `cd py`\n2. `py -3 build.py`\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsubalterngames%2Fcacophony","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsubalterngames%2Fcacophony","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsubalterngames%2Fcacophony/lists"}
