Never mind that last one, I just removed the .txt from the one I made. Can't wait to see how it does with Galaga!

I feel like this is a dumb question, but where exactly is/should this config.txt file be?

Thank you Otto. :) It's nice to hear when people come across my old stuff and enjoy it. I'd love to do NaNoWriMo again; it's just my kind of project and each book pressured me to become a better writer. Unfortunately, while I could squeeze it into the day when I was a graduate student, I just don't think it's possible with a full-time job. Maybe in a few years I'll be able to do projects full-time!

Thank you! Only you and others can decide I'm a genius but I suggest the answer "not really".

I have written 2 nanowrimo novels the last two years and plan on writing another next month. I borrow liberally from your style of writing when I am stuck in a rut. Your books are amazing. Any chance you'll ever do nanowrimo again?

*facepalm*
Thanks, it's working now!

I believe that means you didn't run it with any helpers, so there are no processes to actually do the searching.

Sorry the error messages are so cryptic...

Uh, just kidding. Now that learnfun is sorted out, playfun gives me another error: "check failed: numworking > 0"
Any idea of how to fix?

I got it after adding the newline, thanks!

Config looks right to me. You might just need a newline after the "movie" line; I don't remember if I uploaded that bugfix in the binaries. If you needed to remove ".txt" it might be because windows is hiding extensions from you (and it was actually config.txt.txt), so that might be creating other confusing scenarios. You can turn that behavior off in explorer or take a look using the command-line tools...

I always end up having ideas fo new tiles. Here is the best (in my opinion) and simplest one I've had recently:

'Fog' tiles are filled with a thick, nearly opaque fog through which transponder and laser beams are unable to pass through. As the fog is harmless, however, entities such as bots and the player are able to pass through unharmed. The fog is so thick that the player can stand in the fog directly in line with a laser and come out alive.

The following are possible fog variants:
- One variant could be capable of putting out bombs (like an extremely dense fog of water vapor)
- Another could cause bots to fall asleep upon 'stepping' into the fog (just as electricity only destroys bots when they step onto it).
- A third could be deadly to step into for the player but not bots (sort of like a fog of poison)
If more than two of the three proposals were added, I would suggest following the red, blue, green, gray color scheme.

Hey. So. I got the binaries for learnfun and playfun but learnfun keeps spitting up that error, "check:!game.empty()" (or something like that.) Also, the config.txt would always show a !movie.empty() error until I removed the ".txt" extension from the file, changing the problem from the movie to the game.empty. I have config set up


game mario
movie mario-1.fm2


So I am at a loss for what I'm doing wrong. Any pointers?

I just stumbled across your blog, after seeing your hockey photo in the 2013 Great Race. I found your observations about the 10K distance to be interesting, because I have rarely maximized my 10K race performance. The one time I magically did what it took to really squeeze everything out was the 2002 Great Race 10K, where I did 42:49, which I never matched before or since. I had to train very, very hard to be able to mazimize the 10K, because it seems to require considerable physical and mental tolerance of a certain level of pain, which is a step beyond semi-pukey, and perfect pacing (because going too fast will cause major slowdown in the last mile). A very difficult race distance for me to do my best in.
