# fortran-xkcd

An [fpm](https://github.com/fortran-lang/fpm) example project written in Fortran

2018 that displays the latest [xkcd](https://xkcd.com/) comic inside an X

window. As a limitation, only images in PNG format are supported (no JPEG). The

alt text will be printed to console.

The program depends on X11, libcairo, libcurl, as well as the following Fortran

libraries:

* [fortran-xlib](https://github.com/interkosmos/fortran-xlib)

* [http-client](https://github.com/fortran-lang/http-client)

* [json-fortran](https://github.com/jacobwilliams/json-fortran)

You can pass the xkcd number to view a specific comic strip:

```

$ ./xkcd 292

```

```

$ git clone https://github.com/interkosmos/fortran-xkcd

$ cd fortran-xkcd/

$ fpm build --profile=release

$ fpm run

```

The binary `xkcd` will be written to `build//app/`.
