Thank you so much I've decided to just keep trying and work it out for myself much more satisfying that way!!

Yeah,
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one. The house I rent is over 100yrs old and I'm not sure when the bathroom was added, but it was a while ago. I recently went away for several days and when I came home I really did have a forest of mushrooms growing under the claw foot tub and along the wall. Now this is the second time I've found these things growing in about a 2 month period. The first time I scrapped them up and used bleach. But to no avail, they came back, bigger and badder. I re-scraped them up and used vinegar and soap. Don't know if it will work, but I hope so. I am going to also try the peroxide and salt and hopefully with their powers combined, the floor won't have to be totally replaced until I move out. |

Hi and happy Chinese new year.
Just a note to say I've been using your fonts in worksheets and writing and stuff since I was a college student. My students enjoy your Tombats. Thanks for making stuff and sharing it.
All the best for life after your PhD course.

There are only spoiler hints for a small number of levels, since the players tend to like to work things out for themselves and are quite protective of their solutions. (In fact it is common when finding a bug in someone else's level to make the bug into a puzzle so that someone has to find it, rather than just saying what it is!) That's my style, too, but if you want a hint on a specific level, you should ask. I think people are willing to answer. To ask, just press ctrl-c when a level is selected in the in-game level browser and leave a comment (the more specific your question is, the better), probably marking it as a spoiler. Then check the web page later to see if anyone has left a hint (and make sure spoilers are turned on there). Also, outside the tutorial you don't have to solve the levels in any particular order, so use the difficulty rating to find the ones that are right for you, as you get better! |

sorry this is a very basic problem for me. I am stuck on a level and efter days of frustration decided to look at the spoilers but I can't see them. They don't seem to have a link to view them or it doesn't work. Thanks and by the way what a brilliant challenging game.

You can zoom out with the [ key, and zoom back in with the ]. |

How to minimize to see entire level; sometimes(I don't realize which combination of tasts I pressed) I minimized the level. Well, it means it is possible. |

This is a real trip - reading these posts. Who knew this phenomenon could actually happen indoors?
So I noticed some damp carpet (wall-to-wall) near my living room radiator in my apartment.
This spot was also the same area where I was keeping my stereo and speakers.
I decided wet floor + electronics = bad idea, so I moved my stereo and speakers... and found a veritable forest (several stalks) of mushrooms behind one of the speakers.
These mushrooms were the variety featuring a long stalk and long, conic cap. There appeared to be a bit of powder on the outside of the cap.
I am about two seconds away from approaching those shrooms with a paper towel in my left hand and a handkerchief covering my nose with my right hand.
I'm guessing the leaky radiator and dim conditions are responsible for sprouting these little suckers... Do you think I still have a problem if I spot treat the location and let the carpet dry out (assuming I fix this leaky radiator)??
I feel like Alice in Wonderland... |

Yeah, that was the first page of yours I ever saw, and I just kept coming back. Thanks for the reminder! |

Just a little question, does anyone here play 'Toontown' (Disney's Toontown Online)? |

Thanks Turadg. I made them in Flash using a custom slideshow package I wrote (and would be happy to share).
If you enjoyed these you might also like some of the other talks in that directory (tom7.org/talks); especially jazzy is the end of cs5csl23.swf.
My favorite is my talk from the ICFP programming contest, which was probably the only standing ovation I'll ever get: http://boundvariable.org/press/icfp2006web.swf
(Maybe the video http://boundvariable.org/press/ICFP_contest_2006.mov if you've got an hour to kill...) |

How'd you author them?

Also, you're right about the "static" build and the issue of the missing libraries is a serious one that I haven't gotten around to fixing. |

Michel, thanks... Unless I'm remembering the distribution wrong, Adam already made a Fedora package. I made a build option (something involving 'multiuser', I think) for the issue you describe. |

One more thing -- could the directory in which Escape puts player and history data be made configurable? For FHS compliance, I'm putting the data files in /usr/share/escape (and using a shell script to run the binary from that directory), but that means it's creating the player data and history there as well. |

Tom,
Got to your page when collecting information on TTF embedding (your embed DMCA page still has a rather high PageRank!).
Looks like a really interesting game. The Linux 'static binary' is not actually static, though? It simply has most of the required libs on the same directory (and missing some: libstdc++, gtk+ and glib -- all of them older versions that are not installed by default).
I'm probably going to add the game to Fedora (fedoraproject.org) -- how would you like the version number listed, and is the licensing GPLv2 only or GPLv2+ ("version 2 or later")? If you plan to bring out version 1 later, I'm thinking of numbering this 0.200704130, avoiding any versioning problem.
Thanks! |

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
I am shocked to read about other people discovering the same problem. I recently found a mushroom growing from my shower tile. I was shocked and surprised to find it. I am paranoid and wonder what health problems this can trigger. I live in a 5 bedroom house, and my room is the only room that seems to harbor this problem. My bathroom is connected to my bedroom. The other rooms and bathrooms do not seem to have this problem. Can anyone please advise me on what to do? I don't want to get sick from this, and any advice would be greatly appreciated. |
