In order to make this work, I had to make quite a few changes to the code (purely window management and build related; I didn't change the gameplay). Apparently what Fedora packages as glfw3 is different from any official releases of GLFW, so the Windows version is now probably much more portable than the Linux version I have uploaded.","title":"Ten-Second Postman"}
