Finally! You should make an AAD every month (instead of every year) like all the cool people do. Or at least all the cool people used to do, I guess...

Only listened once so far, but it definitely seems like a worthy successor to #20. House of Hodgman and Free State Project are especially awesome.

Also, why did you go back to 128kpbs MP3? It doesn't sound too bad but it would be nice to have better quality. There's always the internet archive if you need space.

Oh, and why is free state project labeled as track 13 in its id3 tags?

Or repeating successes, for that matter.

Hooray! Now you just have to wait for that Tom 7 guy to update the AAD page and list it. That guy can be sooooo slow.

So now you're tied with me again, eh? 20 solo AADs each. I'm actually feeling the same way you are, like my last effort Decent was so good I'm afraid I can't top it. But so what? It's crap art, quantity over quality, right? Nobody said anything about topping anything.

Ian: I think that the escape.txt docs explain the editor a little bit, but yeah, you're right, the editor is underdocumented. What you want to do is edit the "alternate layer", by pressing y (or clicking the 'layer') button at top.

A help file would be nice for the editor; I don't know how to put a piece on the underside of a floor tile.

Yeah, I still think Anarki is one of the easiest 1v1 matches, as long as you hog the items.

Dm18?? I've passed this level, but that wasn't easy to beat. My friends says, that it's easy. That's funny, because I think Dm18 is hard, however they think that Anarki is hardest to beat. Not for me...

5483. A fun guy (lib-pc23.sfsu.edu) – 15 Feb 2007 18:00:14 Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
This site is really funny...I've laughed aloud several times reading it.

I just discovered some orange mushrooms growing in the crack between a wall and my ceiling in my home...it's in the hall right outside the bathroom. I thought it was funny and I thought the mushrooms were kind of pretty, and I left them there for my roommate to see when she got home. But after reading this site...I'm trying to determine whether it's really a health hazard or whether it's people being paranoid. I suppose I'll tell my landlords who live right upstairs (like Mr. and Mrs. Roeper) but that means I have to clean the house first...

Also I wonder how difficult it will be for them to make the mushrooms go away...it seems like gravity could be a problem, since they're right near the ceiling. I went to this [ www.rogersmushrooms.com/gallery/chooser.asp ] mushroom identification site, hoping that the mushrooms would be hallucinogenic...but I couldn't find any pictures that looked like the ones in my home. Booo.

Oh, I understand. Maybe I can give that a shot.

What I meant was, you could try and recompile SDL so it doesn't use gdk. Then you could distribute that version of libSDL, and you wouldn't have to add more to the download.

Admittedly, I'm not sure what it's actually using gdk for.

Oops, I don't know why I said GTK2. =)

If you have SDL on your system then it's really easy to compile from source... so for the binary distribution I'd rather minimize the requirements. I'll see about including gdk, etc.
 
5474. Freeze Rabbit (c-67-169-224-163.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) – 14 Feb 2007 06:06:38 UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]
Well, no, because it doesn't use GTK2. ;)

The only libraries I see in the ldd output, that look like they came from gtk, are libgdk-1.2.so.0, libgmodule-1.2.so.0, and libglib-1.2.so.0. I'm a little puzzled as to why it's using libgdk, but not libgtk.

I can't see any harm, myself, in including the libraries. They're pretty small.

Another option you might want to consider, tho: it's libSDL-1.2.so.0 that's pulling in libgdk etc. as dependencies. I actually got Escape to start fine just by moving that file out of the way and letting it use the one from my system. You may want to look into recompiling SDL without the dependency.

Thanks, I didn't realize that. I'd rather include as much as possible so that the binary works out of the box. It looks like GTK2 is only a few hundred kilobytes; do you think I should include it?

Hi, Tom 7. Been a fan since forever. Sorry to be starting with a complaint.

The "static" Linux binary has an unresolved dependency on libgdk-1.2.so.0 . I understand you need to make a tradeoff regarding what libs you include versus which ones can reasonably be expected to be found on a Linux system capable of playing this game in the first place -- however, gtk+ 1.2 was replaced long ago, and the chance is increasing of it _not_ being installed, especially if the computer is primarily a KDE system.

On my Gentoo box, it takes rather a long time to install gtk+. :)

You can patent anything you want anyway.

I have had orange- SICKLY ORANGE mushrooms growing just inside my back sliding glass door to my deck in between linoleum and door strip which is OSB strand board- now, 3 years later, they are popping up a couple feet from my washing machine. My main concern is respiratory problems and arthritic/immune system responses to the spores; for me and everyone who has written here, TAKE PICTURES OF THIS STUFF if you have landlord or property owners of it you may have potential law suits or health department involvement- thats' my opinion. btw black mold is something to worry about in and of itself; in fact I believe when I lived elsewhere it contributed to the onset of fibromyalgia in me, and early onset arthritis possibly. good luck. oh, and to the person whos landlord says "beats me, it's a mystery" yeah.....RIGHT, many of you are describing SERIOUS structural problems of buildings!

I guess when you can cyclopsblast any legal challenges you can patent anything you want.
