Well, I'm working on a multiuser version for linux where the data are stored elsewhere, but it removes a bunch of functionality (like the ability to self-upgrade)... I can't say I like it very much but if people will want to install it, I'll give 'em the option!

Oooooh yeah ZIBBED!!

It's not a certainty, but the plan is certainly to finish this summer...

Did you know that you were sharing a building with none other than the big Mr. Zibs last night (and 16,000 of his closest pals)? He saved a rally towel for me. Did you know that my dog has a blog devoted to him? It's at houndlynugget.blogspot.com. Are you really going to graduate this year? If we were racing then BASTARD. If not then congrats.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to Just Another Random guy. Your advice on how to make a space name really helped! Thanks!

I'm telling you again Tom, your user data storage approach in Mac OS X is ridiculous. I know you wanna keep all your code the same across platforms as much as possible, but if there's one thing that should get some "special" treatment...

J, yeah, the only hard part was the ACH logo.. it's too risky to do halftones which is bad for those gradients!

Nice set of puns! I especially like the Moore's Law one. I'm also pleased the sigbovik logo stands up to B&W treatment decently.

Aragorn, maybe your problem is getting inside the Escape "package". Try control-clicking on the Escape icon and then selecting "show package contents" from the menu that appears. Your player file should be in Contents-->MacOs. After you download the new version from the web site, drag your player file from the old package into the same location in the new package.

Thank you everyone. There is still time to contribute.

Did you try the instructions on my comment above that begins "I did the OSX release..."? What goes wrong?

Great Game!
I'm playing on a mac G5 w/ OS 10.4
I can't seem to upgrade to the new version and find my player Id file.
I read the forum comments, no help. Any assistance would be appreciated.
thanks

Mary: You should get the new tutorials if you update the level collection from the internet (4 on the main menu). Make sure you're subscribed to 'official' and 'triage'. You also need to first upgrade the game by pressing '3' on the main menu if you haven't done that yet. (If on Mac OSX, then see above..)

How can I access Tutorial 21? My Tuorial levels only go up to 20.

By the way the Remotes look like a great idea I just want to learn how they work.

I'll fix the pieguy problem soon. It should be pretty easy.

Are you missing any solutions now, kirima?

I got the same "problem" as pieguy: solutions management got stuck with my very first solution of a level - even though I did solve the level much quicker, the +better+ solutions just disappear and so I'm kind of "stuck" with my very first and kind of silly way to solve a level. But the "better" solution is there as a bookmark.

I did +upgrade+ the entire file - and ooops - all the old files had just ooops gone, had disappeared...?! So I did rename my player, did name it "Kirima" instead of "mm" - but ooops, all those old escape files did all of a sudden forget my "mm" name and ooops, turned all those +mm+ to "kirima" and that's why it took me so long to recover my original files.

Got it?

I can't explain it any better!
