I think a malfunction is moving around and I'm obviously not the only person. First I have failure updating even though it says "update successful" when at the same time the game is completely resetting all my info by deleting my files, and now Kirima lost the ability to play after updating. It's not the old update problem from early beta 3 because back then the only problem was the update failed. I think we have found a worse problem, but so far only Kirima and I have had the problem so far. (to our knowledge).

The patch is for downloading levels when the existing target is a symlink to a read only location. Otherwise, it won't fetch new levels on Fedora.

I did try to update directly, but now double-clicking the icon won't open the game. Just nothing happening! So I did manually download the zip-file: same problem, impossible to open the game. (iMac OSX Tiger 10.4.11)

Yeah, Adam is suggesting a patch to the update code that might help with the problems that some people are experiencing. It seems like it can't hurt, so I did add it. Unfortunately the update code can't be fixed by updating, if you can't update. :)

More information about updating problems is useful to me, because it's working fine on my computers. That makes it hard for me to debug.

It's not a script, but it's the output of a programming tool called GNU diff, which lists the parts of the source code that have changed between versions.

Oh, If you are in the same row or column as the Shybot, it will try to move out of the row/column you are in, But it won't try to walk into a solid object. This allows it to be "Forced" off the wall.

I'm pretty sure that's a script. I've used simple BASIC and GML(Game Maker Language, For the program Game Maker) scripts, I've looked at some of the escape code, and that looks like a script.

Can there be like a tile called CURTAIN, so you cant see whats under it. But if there is something under it there will be a black shade in the curtain, and to reveal what is under it ONLY in the LEVEL EDITOR with C.



Heres a bot that will be great for my next level - CopyBots - "Copybots copy your everymove like if you press right the bot goes right, and so on...

Next up plans are a rewritten level browser. No immediate plans for new blocks. Shybots is a good idea, but I'm worried that they'd spend all their time against the walls, with not much to do over there.

Isn't there a formula with the x^4 coefficient (ax^4 +bx^3+cx^2+dx+e=0)?

I Don't Know. Bots that run away from you, or "Shybots" would be interesting.

Whew... No more scrolling down! Thanks again for the new version.

There's an error in the formula for r4. It's easy to see what they meant though. When you first load the page and scroll down just enough to see the formula for r4, most of the other equations are taken up by an expression of something over something. 2^(1/3)(b^2-3ac+12d) is the numerator. But that expression of something over something is not in the r4 formula. Where that expression is supposed to start, instead you see a smaller expression of something over nothing! But notice this: the numerators for both the expression of something over something, and for the expression of something over nothing, are the same. I said what the numerator is earlier. The expression following the expression of something over nothing starts with 3(2b^3-9abc... . This is the denominator of the expression of something over something.

The real formula for r4 is instead of having the expression of something over nothing, NEXT TO the expression that is the denominator of the expression of something over something, you have numerator of the expression of something over nothing OVER the expression that is the denominator of the expression of something over something.

Oh wow! Could you make a new tarball at http://escape.spacebar.org/source/ so I can put out a new Fedora release?
