We're on Homebrew!

Hey all, we're on Homebrew now. Try brew install libgosu to try it out. :)

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/libgosu.rb *hurray*

It should provide an alternative to CocoaPods for doing C++ work on macOS. Although I'm not sure how well it will work if you're interested in distributing your game beyond your own computer... If you figure that part out, let me know!

Is this something that would be good on the Getting Started on macOS page? Maybe? Maybe not?

Apparently this forum doesn't like emoji!

Yeah, I've also found out about that the hard way (truncated post). I guess it is an issue with Unicode support in my MySQL table. A friend has helped me snatch the Gosu subreddit so that's something I might try to replace this forum with in the very, very long term. (The mwForum software has been discontinued.)

Awesome! Thanks.

Funny coincidence, SDL 2.0.5 was my first contribution to Homebrew just recently. Have you done any research into how to keep the formula up-to-date automatically? Not that I'm releasing a lot recently...

Feel free to edit the Getting Started page before I get to it :) It should probably come before CocoaPods, since all Gosu users on macOS are bound to use Homebrew already for sdl2.

I've been working on the Gosu front page itself for the last couple of evenings. I want to have one separate page for the introduction, Ruby, C++ and iOS each. Mixing Ruby and C++ content on the same page is always so confusing... I'll add a note there too.
