# Latest Release: v0.10.0 (Oct 9, 2021)

[Change History](/guidebook/changes.html)

## Windows

The Microsoft&trade; Windows release of _Sketchy Maze_ currently comes as a ZIP
file that you can extract anywhere and then run the `doodle.exe` program to
start the game.

**Note:** I do not yet have a code signing certificate for the Windows release,
so you may need to click through the "Unknown Publisher" dialog.

* **64-bit:** [sketchymaze-0.10.0-windows-64bit.zip](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/windows/sketchymaze-0.10.0-windows-64bit.zip) (23 MB)
* **32-bit:** [sketchymaze-0.10.0-windows-32bit.zip](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/windows/sketchymaze-0.10.0-windows-32bit.zip) (23 MB)

## Mac OS (Intel)

The macOS release of _Sketchy Maze_ comes in two varieties: a traditional
"Sketchy Maze.app" in a .dmg file or a form similar to Windows and Linux with a
ZIP file that you can extract anywhere and run the `doodle` program to start
the game.

**Note:** I do not yet have a code signing certificate for the macOS release;
you're expected to know how to run apps from unverified developers. See
[Apple's documentation](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer-mh40616/11.0/mac/11.0)
how to do this for your version of macOS.

* **Intel 64-bit App:** [sketchymaze-0.10.0-macOS-x64.dmg](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/macos/sketchymaze-0.10.0-macOS-x64.dmg) (32 MB)
* **Zip file for Intel Macs:** [sketchymaze-0.10.0-macos-x64.zip](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/macos/sketchymaze-0.10.0-macos-x64.zip) (22 MB)

## GNU/Linux

### Flatpak (All Distros)

The easiest cross-distro way to download _Sketchy Maze_ is via [Flatpak](https://flatpak.org/),
which is well supported on most popular Linux distributions including Fedora, Ubuntu,
Debian and others.

* **64-bit:** [sketchymaze-0.10.0.flatpak](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/linux/sketchymaze-0.10.0.flatpak) (13.1 MB)
* **ARM aarch64:** [sketchymaze-0.10.0-aarch64.flatpak](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/linux/sketchymaze-0.10.0-aarch64.flatpak) (13.1 MB)

There is not a Flatpak repository for this game yet; inclusion on
[Flathub](https://flathub.org/) or a custom Flatpak repository for easier
install/updates is being considered.

To install the Flatpak manually:

```bash
# Download the .flatpak package. NOTE: it's distributed as a stand-alone app
# for now, a flatpak repo will be added at some point.
$ wget https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/linux/sketchymaze-0.10.0.flatpak

# Install the .flatpak package.
$ flatpak install --user sketchymaze-0.10.0.flatpak

# Run it. There should also be a standard app launcher in your menu.
$ flatpak run com.sketchymaze.Doodle
```

<br>

**Notice:** in the 0.10.0 release the Flatpak app launcher had difficulty launching the game properly,
citing an error about not being able to change to the /app/share/sketchymaze directory therein.
I'm not sure what changed to break this since earlier releases but `flatpak run com.sketchymaze.Doodle`
should run the app from the command line.

### Fedora (.rpm)

* **64-bit:** [sketchy-maze-0.10.0-1.x86_64.rpm](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/linux/sketchy-maze-0.10.0-1.x86_64.rpm) (21 MB)
* **32-bit:** [sketchy-maze-0.10.0-1.i386.rpm](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/linux/sketchy-maze-0.10.0-1.i386.rpm) (21 MB)
* **ARM aarch64:** [sketchy-maze-0.10.0-1.aarch64.rpm](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/linux/sketchy-maze-0.10.0-1.aarch64.rpm) (21 MB)

### Ubuntu & Debian (.deb)

* **32-bit:** [sketchy-maze_0.10.0_i386.deb](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/linux/sketchy-maze_0.10.0_i386.deb) (21 MB)
* **ARM aarch64:** [sketchy-maze_0.10.0_arm64.deb](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/linux/sketchy-maze_0.10.0_arm64.deb) (21 MB)

### Tarball

You can download _Sketchy Maze_ as a `.tar.gz` archive which you can extract
anywhere and run. The binary is built on a modern Fedora system and _hopefully_
should run as-is on other modern GNU/Linux systems, but sometimes shared library
versions of SDL2 may not match your computer.

* **64-bit:** [sketchymaze-0.10.0-linux-64bit.tar.gz](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/linux/sketchymaze-0.10.0-linux-64bit.tar.gz)
* **32-bit:** [sketchymaze-0.10.0-linux-32bit.tar.gz](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/linux/sketchymaze-0.10.0-linux-32bit.tar.gz)
* **ARM aarch64:** [sketchymaze-0.10.0-linux-aarch64.tar.gz](https://download.sketchymaze.com/release/v0.10.0/linux/sketchymaze-0.10.0-linux-aarch64.tar.gz)

For the daring, Sketchy Maze _almost_ works on the Pinephone. Try the aarch64
version of the tarball, built on Mobian on Pinephone.
