"Expect more changes to escape starting in october..."
That was your statment in the beginning of september.
I'm curious! I guess we all are waiting for it? |

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
I had mushrooms growing on my kitchen floor. There had been a leak
from the kitchen sink. The cabinets were moldy, and then I found the
fungus thing. It was sort of, uhm, like a hard white foam. Very tough and fibrous- had to saw it off with a knife. Then a bunch of the lanoleum tiles were loose, and there was white fungus under the
one next to where the mushroom type thing grew.
I had the leak fixed, and sprayed a LOT of bleach all over the inside of the cabinets. I reglued all the loose cabinets. Where the fungus was
growing, I put a very toxic anti-bacterial, anti-fungal product. It's made for killing all sorts of germs in a veterinarian type situation... kills
off contageous diseases, etc. I normally avoid using any toxic chemicals, but this seemed like a good time to make an exception. The mold seems to have stopped growing, and I imagine things are drying out pretty well now under the floor. It's been at least 4 months
since I've seen any mushroom growth. That whole area of the floor is sort of warped and swollen, though... I think the particle board beneath the lanoleum floor tiles got first swollen with moisture, then invaded with mold. It is gross. But I think it may be under control now, as long as the area stays dry (I live in a very dry climate). |

Man, I wanted to do one of those... |

SLAP!

(SPOILERS)
Yeah, in retrospect I should have hidden that better. ROLing hc won't work, because whatever is rotated needs to have type wchar_t. I think XORing word[i] to set the high bit would have been more innocent-looking. |

Should have ROL()d hc instead of c; that might not have set off their suspicions.
(I didn't find the bug by just reading the source, but I did once find a bug by reading an LJ source file when they had a crash bug in it and offered a free permanent account to anyone who found it.) |

There's probably nothing I can do about this, because SDL handles all the sound stuff. But you could definitely get the source package and recompile with -DNOSOUND, especially since sound is not yet enabled in the release versions! |

[ UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]
With Linux Mandriva 2007.1 all I get from escape is an immediate crash. I think it's somewhere in the sound drivrer. This worked on Mandriva 2006.
If a backtrace would be useful let me know and I will post it.

We'll certainly find a new airport in Escape! :-) |

fly over states should have flying metropoli above them |

Well, that is just super-duper-interesting! |

I just found this in my bathroom this evening. How fast do these things grow? I was gone for 15 hours today, I come home... and I have mature mushrooms coming from the grout by my bathtub!

Kirima, practice makes perfect! |
| |
Jungle Fever is not as bad as you might think!
Major League levels would be wonderful, I' love to see more of them. I've tried to edit them, but oh my God... |
| |
I've tried hard to make the tutorials such that you are forced to figure out the behavior without too many choices to distract you. Maybe I haven't always done the best job of that, but I'd prefer to improve the tutorials than to give the solution.
Hint: for #17, push the button several times after going through the teleporter to get you started. |

Kirima, it isn't obvious if there is a specific aspect of the behavior you don't understand that is necessary for solving the level! |
| |
I mean levels that don't make me want to die, Max.
Anon: We're going to set up a results page soon! |
| |
Thanks for the post... I was searching for the results (as per languages used, etc.) with no luck. Thanks for the great link to the presentation. It was excellent!
Thanks! |

Listen everyone...if you find a mushroom anywhere in your home it is a warning sign that a more serious issue exists!!! I found one in my bathroom, and come to find out upon inspection, I have some serious water damage that led to several types of mold, including black mold. Fortunately, my homeowners insurance covers the majority of the $15,000 cost to tear everything apart in my bathroom, remediate the mold & rot, and re-build it...and this is just minor for what could've been possible had I ignored the situation. Several parties reiterated that I caught this problem at its onset. Good luck to all who face this problem :) |

I meant in October, sorry! That's when I'll finally have some time for projects like escape again. I did start working on it though. There's no need for surprises: The first project is putting the solution manager inside the bookmark system, which will make it easy to do things like edit a solution that you download to make it faster, or zoom out or scroll while watching a solution, or whatever.
The second project is a new level browser to let us tame the enormous collection of levels.
I too would like to play some more Major League levels...! Anyone? |

I'm Kirima, not "Anonymous". |

I'm looking forward for some next airport, would you please upload it very soon, I'm kind of sick of those beginner levels. |
