The source builds the following binary package:

This game has already been published for Windows on Microsoft Store
(Kuiper Ranger).

Kuiper Ranger is a highly polished, faithful implementation of classic
vector-style arcade games. It is a well-behaved, native Linux
application written efficiently in C/C++ using the SDL2 library for
graphics and sound, making it lightweight and a perfect fit for the
Debian archives.

Regards,
Curt McDowell
