Call for contributors: Lager - value-oriented design (Redux for UE)

Vlady_Veselinov · September 11, 2023, 2:17am

Hi y’all!

Lager is a a third party C++ library for value-oriented design, using the unidirectional data-flow architecture. It is heavily inspired by Elm and Redux, and enables composable designs by promoting the use of simple value types and testable application logic via pure functions. You also get time-travel for free!

Here’s a cool talk about it from the author: https://youtu.be/_oBx_NbLghY

I think this would be great for games where the order of things that happen matters. Would you be interested in contributing to getting Lager to run in UE?

I have this ongoing issue (and a rough work in progress repository). Trying to get it to work without much luck so far:

help wanted question

Hi folks, I'm a C++ noob, I was impressed by the library because I'm familiar wi…th the pattern from web development. I also love making games in Unreal Engine and was hoping to use Lager, but I'm having trouble including the library. 1. Created an unreal module following these instructions: https://youtu.be/wJquw_-X4YQ 2. Cloned Lager within my project 3. Included something from Lager <img width="819" alt="devenv_2ChEUX55JD" src="https://github.com/arximboldi/lager/assets/1226564/9bc025a8-1ea4-4f62-9878-02f2ee817f48"> 4. It wouldn't build because of a missing dependency <img width="319" alt="devenv_hO6QpsErqh" src="https://github.com/arximboldi/lager/assets/1226564/b8e1e88c-0c1b-4e35-a686-c3235fcdde73"> 5. Went to the readme to look for install instructions, looks like they were for linux so I had to improvise <img width="662" alt="firefox_pJyvrN8Xuu" src="https://github.com/arximboldi/lager/assets/1226564/8e1cc058-1186-4ef5-a8e0-df48865f5f01"> 6. Navigated to the cloned Lager root directory and ran ``` cmake . ``` 7. Then got this error ``` -- Could not find ccache -- Disabling compile-time checks for store dependencies CMake Error at C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/Common7/IDE/CommonExtensions/Microsoft/CMake/CMake/share/cmake-3.26/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message): Could NOT find Boost (missing: Boost_INCLUDE_DIR system) (Required is at least version "1.56") Call Stack (most recent call first): C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/Common7/IDE/CommonExtensions/Microsoft/CMake/CMake/share/cmake-3.26/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:600 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE) C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/Common7/IDE/CommonExtensions/Microsoft/CMake/CMake/share/cmake-3.26/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:2377 (find_package_handle_standard_args) CMakeLists.txt:72 (find_package) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! ``` Do you have any tips on how I can make this work?
