Tom, will you make it possible to play on osX Big Sur / M1 ? |

Heads up: new season of Search Party is out.
Also I made a very stupid website you might like: www.bestbytest.net |
| |
That is a sexy mini cooper! |
| |
I do have ideas!
I butchered your makefile but got all three platforms building on GitHub:
https://github.com/jrr/tom7misc/pull/4
I'm not sure using another source control system and host qualifies as minimally-invasive, but it's one way to get Mac builds at least. Also I learned that GitHub has an automagic SVN import that slurps up all the history, so FWIW if you ever do decide to migrate it won't be hard. |
| |
I just found a video that mentions your reverse emulating the NES project: "https://youtu.be/dD37VRCf8eQ?t=948" |
| |
I tell ya, I was extremely enthusiastic to watch those 24 minutes. As a caʒ lover of both machine learning and typography, it felt like it was just for me. |
| |
It is still on sourceforge, but they are always changin' their URLs around:
https://sourceforge.net/p/tom7misc/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/escapex/
One of the main obstacles to releasing again on mac is that I don't have a suitable computer to compile with! But if you have ideas or minimally-invasive (e.g. I would really like to be able to compile with free tools from a makefile) portability improvements, lemme know!
Max: Fortunately it was a mix CD! I wish it had been something more poetic. |

Is the latest source for Escape publicly available? All I see is an old tarball and a broken link to "sourceforge" ( http://tom7misc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tom7misc/trunk/escapex/ )
If you put it on GitHub a benevolent stranger might do the ARM port for you ;) |
| |
Yeah, I'm aware (and sad) that everyone has stopped supporting Flash! I have in mind to port these to HTML5 (itself a moving target, ugh) when I have some time/energy for that. This one should be fairly doable as long as I resist the urge to fix its various problems! |
| |
This is freaking wild, good job :) |
| |
|
|
| |
Hey, the game's not functioning.
Could you perhaps convert it to HTML5? |
| |
|

Also, thanks Matt for noticing the problem on the server, something that I totally failed to notice with my speedrun uploading activities... |
| |
Thanks Tom 7 for making the server work again! I have just reuploaded all the speedruns I uploaded during the period. Hope I did not miss anything. |
| |
Thanks a lot for reporting this!
It turned out to be a bug with handling \0 characters in strings that I introduced in like September 2020 while doing some optimization/cleanup work on the language that runs the escape server code, Aphasia. Several red herrings in there since I also made some proximal changes to the escape server code relating to solution uploading *after* that.
Unfortunately the result of the bug is that solutions uploaded during this period (Dec 12 to today) were just saved as the empty string. I don't think there's any way I can recover them, so please reupload these if you want to claim records! (At least the server handles this case okay, so that's something, although I think it's important that we maintain at least one solution for every level...) Here are the records I deleted:

jonas, that's right! I clocked 14.75 miles = 23.73 km. I wish it had been a bit longer (I think there's a nicer route a little to the north) but I only had a couple hours left with the zipcar and didn't want to get in trouble.
Saeid: Awesome! Nice to meet you :) |

If I understand that map screenshot correctly, the city on the top left is Steubenville, OH, and the run must have been about 22 kilometers long. |
| |
Dan B! Happy Pi day! I was just looking at those old photos (: |
| |
Yeah I know! I hope to port this one to javascript as soon as I get some other stuff done :) |
| |
Thanks Matt! I will look at this right after I finish this project due tomorrow.
Hopefully we didn't lose data.. |
| |
Well, on Chrome at least. |
