Construct road decks, timber braces, steel trusses, tension suspension cables, and active hydraulic pistons within each stage budget. Toggle split joints so your drawbridge opens cleanly during the river vessel pass phase, then locks shut again as sedans, delivery vans, and heavy dump trucks cross to the goal. Features: * Real 60 FPS truss mass-spring stress solver with live tension and compression overlay * 5 structural components: Road Deck, Timber Brace, Steel Truss, Cable, Hydraulic Piston * Split drawbridge joints with automated or manual hydraulic lift for vessel clearance * 3 river and gorge stages plus Casual, Arcade, and Turbo difficulty modes * Real 16-bit PCM WAV audio, persistent high scores, CSV export, and EN/VI UI Disclaimer: This project is an independent open-source game and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any commercial title. ### Package name * hydraulic-span-engineer --- ### License * MIT --- ### Last updated * Today - latest/stable --- ### Websites * [buymeacoffee.com](https://buymeacoffee.com/thanhnv128b "https://buymeacoffee.com/thanhnv128b") --- ### Contact * [buymeacoffee.com](https://buymeacoffee.com/thanhnv128b "https://buymeacoffee.com/thanhnv128b") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/hydraulic-span-engineer/arch#report-snap-modal) --- [See more information about hydraulic-span-engineer ›](https://snapcraft.io/hydraulic-span-engineer) ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Hydraulic Span Engineer Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Hydraulic Span Engineer To install Hydraulic Span Engineer, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install hydraulic-span-engineer ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
