#### Build truss and hydraulic drawbridges for vehicles and river ships safely

Hydraulic Span Engineer is a 60 FPS 2D structural bridge physics and drawbridge
engineering puzzle game across three scenic river and canyon stages.

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

## Enable snaps on openSUSE 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

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
