Kirima: Did those 2 solutions become bookmarks? I'm interested because if solutions disappear, it might be because I introduced a bug in the game rules, which is something serious I'd like to look into. |

Sophia: well, upgrading means writing in the package. I guess on OSX you could still write the save file in the user's home directory and allow administrators to update from in-game (if I could do that administrator password prompt thing), although it's tricky because you also want the user to be able to update the collection of levels, and I think that's not something you want only administrators to do... which means reconciling that there are some set of levels that "come with" the single installation of the game, but the user can choose to supplement (or reduce?) those by updating from the server or creating his/her own, etc. Generally I think it works better if there's just one copy of the app per user that wants to use it, especially since I think multi-user systems are pretty rare. |

Tom, I had only lost 2 solutions, no problem. |
| |
Why would that preclude self-upgrade? |
| |
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! |

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. |

crazy good!!! |

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..) |

And for AI representation:
