+   To get this to work I had to use a modified version of =cl-sdl2= found in
+   [[https://github.com/lispgames/cl-sdl2/pull/123][this PR]]. After trying that fork, I found a format string bug in =render.lisp=
+   in the =cl-sdl2= source. So I made a change and committed it to [[https://github.com/thegoofist/cl-sdl2][another fork]].

+   I haven't been able to get the windows version to build with audio enabled,
+   so I made a git branch with the changes that helped me build this game on
+   windows. After cloning this repo into your =local-projects= directory within
+   the quicklisp root directory, checkout the =windows-build-mods= branch.
+
+   From within this directory, I did the following:
+
+   #+begin_src 
+# shell...
+
+$ git checkout windows-build-mods
+$ sbcl

+
+   #+end_src
+
+  Then copy all =.dll= and the =assets= directory into =bin=. Double clicking on
+  =price-of-coffee.exe= worked for me. (I don't own a windows machine so I had
+  to go over to a friends' house to get this thing built on windows).
