Happy birthday! Coincidentally I just wrote a song (not recorded yet) that goes "Life gets better / when you're 33 / and you finally understand / what goes on". Let me know if it's true. I wrote it to stop despairing about my rapidly-advancing age relative to my not-so-rapidly-advancing accomplishments.

stb_image is great, thanks for that. I will use it some day because I can't stand shared libraries. I wish it had support for 24-bit PNGs with an alpha channel though! That's what I usually use.

smart SOB comment???

I love that this thing is still getting commented on. I ended up here after TinY World was linked on Free Indie Games, and the title of this post drew me instantly.

I had never soldered anything in my life, so rather than facing the problem head on, I bought like five different versions of this thing over the years. They were always pretty cheap here in Israel.
Or, well, only two were shaped like that and had that godawful rocker thing (which also broke hilariously). The rest were vaguely iPod-shaped, if blockier, but their headphone jacks died the same way, and they also had "hello!"/"goodbye!" screens, and some of the icons were similar, so I suspect both variations shared an ancestor.

Nowadays on the cheap side, Sansas of all sorts seem to be functioning well for me and my friends.

I don't really know why I felt the need to chime in with all this. Probably because it was exciting to see someone actually solve a problem that frustrated me a lot in the past, but that I had mostly forgotten about.

So, in a belated effort to put it briefly: I enjoyed your post.

I made stb_image.c for many things, and "easy to drop it when you're in the middle of a game jam and need a PNG" is definitely a sweet spot for it; I'm sad you didn't know about it. (Although it might use too much memory since it's design to be simple, not optimal.) Google it if you care.

Yay! The exploration platformer concept is so awesome we ended up doing the same sort of thing and had a lot of fun doing it.

Your game is great - I put some comments on the Ludum Dare page if you saw those. Though also, it does desperately need a cute chiptune loop for the main gameplay...

It's probably the deleteme dir. The game will make stuff like that while updating, so if something went wrong, you may have extra files around. Try moving that dir out of the escape dir, and if all is well after restarting the game, you can probably dispose of the directory.

Tom,

The folders within my 'Escape' directory are:

0_3332_1582.deleteme;
attic;
graveyard;
minor league;
mylevels;
official;

and,

triage.

Thanks for reminding me about bugs. :) the hard thing is not fixing them, but just getting the game to compile again, cuz I have a new computer since the last time I built it. But I do still care even if I'm bad at it.

Grue: escape looks for all puzzle files within the directory it's in and all subdirectories. Do you have a copy of the triage folder, or a backup or anything like that, inside the escape folder?
 
11384. Gruesome (109.76.125.86) – 30 Aug 2012 14:07:50 Updated: Escape 200912250 ]
I've currently got two triage options when I load levels. Why is that.

I don't believe there are any practical aspects.

I like the laces. I can find references to "linked laces" as a magic trick. It looks cool, but what about the practical aspects? Is the knot more robust than a standard knot?

Tom, the CC licenses are nice because they spell out exactly what a statement like "everybody has my permission and encouragement to remix liberally" means. Does "remix" include a cover? Could I use your songs in a game? What if you didn't like my game, would you be able to rescind the permission? A CC license assures people they can put those questions aside.

But this is actually the first time I can recall you giving blanket permission for remixes. So thanks!

I think while there are probably a few people who would love to use your tunes in games, it would probably be an even greater contribution if you considered licensing your fonts under the SIL Open Font License, which would allow them to be on Google Web Fonts and thus, embedded all over the web. My favorite programming font, Inconsolata-g (http://leonardo-m.livejournal.com/77079.html) was only possible because the original Inconsolata designer used that license and allowed modifications.

This assumes you aren't already sick of your old fonts (maybe you don't WANT to see them all over the web?), but otherwise, consider it, dude! A lot of people would be pretty happy to use that stuff on their websites.

Thanks Adhesion and Scott! A bunch of my songs are available GPL (MIDI files) as part of t7eshero. And everybody has my permission and encouragement to remix liberally. Beyond that I don't really see any advantage to the CC license, but maybe you have an idea...

jonas: Hmm, I guess not. I do keep careful track of this in my KML file, but it's not part of the exported map. I'll keep that in mind next time I do an export, though really I should just work on finishing it since I am maybe only 700 miles away?

Nice! I tried to go to Target to get a circular (they had it on display but none for collectors) and/or notebook (might just be a fantasy notebook) and left empty-handed, but that was fun to see anyway. Wish it was a Trapper Keeper though!

Is the list of neighbourhoods that you have marked as completed in the Pac Tom project shown somewhere on the Pac Tom website? Maybe you could mark them on the map?
