Add good old Beastie

[ehaupt]

Now that there is an official FreeBSD port we definitely need some proper representation 😃

@ehaupt Excellent! Thanks for adding arttime to official FreeBSD ports. Yes it would be good to have Beastie now that we have FreeBSD support :). A few points about port:

• My repository's username needs update in your port.
• Games is not the most accurate description, even though it can be used as a random art selection game. I use it mostly as a timer to get desktop notifications while multi-tasking or time-managing. May I propose one new directory like: devtools, productivity, time, multitasking? There are so many applications available on GitHub that are developer productivity focused, at least productivity deserves a directory.
• How could this be made into a package? So user can just do pkg install arttime if they don't want to install the ports system? On my system ports fetch extract populated the /usr/ports directory with 800MB of content. I had previously tried that and removed the pkg system as my use case was disk space constrained. Could you help make pkg install arttime work?

Also, I have fixed the spacing to make Beastie center on the screen. Check the comment 3645667#commitcomment-85854953. Unfortunately given the port points to arttime 1.9.1, Beastie won't show in ports till next release...

@ehaupt Excellent! Thanks for adding arttime to official FreeBSD ports. Yes it would be good to have Beastie now that we have FreeBSD support :). A few points about port:

Seems like you've renamed your account.

https://github.com/reportaman/arttime

redirects to:

I'll update it accordingly.

* Games is not the most accurate description, even though it can be used as a random art selection game. I use it mostly as a timer to get desktop notifications while multi-tasking or time-managing.

That is not official ports category that exists.

* How could this be made into a package? So user can just do `pkg install arttime` if they don't want to install the ports system? On my system `ports fetch extract` populated the `/usr/ports` directory with 800MB of content. I had previously tried that and removed the pkg system as my use case was disk space constrained. Could you help make `pkg install arttime` work?

I recommend reading the following documentation:

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ports/

This command will work once the official package builders have caught on:

pkg install arttime

That should be the case for the latest package branch within roughly one week.

Also, I have fixed the spacing to make Beastie center on the screen. Check the comment 3645667#commitcomment-85854953. Unfortunately given the port points to arttime 1.9.1, Beastie won't show in ports till next release...

Awesome, thanks.

@ehaupt Ah thanks for the info! Dependency for native desktop sound would change soon based on @grahamperrin's suggestions in #26 (comment), and our findings in discussion #29 and ticket #27. Will keep you posted!

As a side note, you too got a shout-out in the release notes of v1.9.1 release notes. Thanks so much for the support, and explanations!

Thanks, I'll keep this in mind once a new version gets released (adding such changes to release notes helps).

It's my pleasure. Thank you for the shout-out.

May I suggest adding a repology badge into your README.md? It adds awareness of the packaging status of your project. It's also a good overview for version distribution across different package repositories, plus it leads users to repo specific information on how to install the package. Many projects add those badges (eg.: https://github.com/bloomreach/s4cmd).

@ehaupt Great suggestion! Would you like to create a PR for Readme.md? I can merge it tomorrow, it's a little late here. If not then I'll figure it tomorrow. Thanks :)
