Is it still tiny? I changed it to use CSS styles instead of literal rows and columns. Urgh.

Are those things on the bottom supposed to be green spherical elephants? p.s. why is this comment box like 40 pixels tall all of a sudden?

At first I thought that was a stock market graph, but now it looks more to me like a gigantic crack. The dots up above are clearly twinkling stars, so this crack is spreading to the firmament. The dollar signs below indicate that this rift in the fabric of reality was caused by the root of all evil.

I am not sure about the puke-colored pattern in the back. It may be a subtle statement that the artist believes God wears plaid.

It's the green that does it. Without that, it would have been possible.

I'm glad! Whenever you want to synchronize with the current source code, just do "cvs up -d" in the escapex dir. I can't guarantee that the code will always be in good shape, though, since I'm basically the only developer so I just check in my changes whenever I move between computers.

Hey, it worked.

It's nice to have the updates, especially that resize windows thing.

Got it. ;)

(I meant that kind of fascetiously. Like I'm not so vain as that implies but rather you should take it as a compliment that you made me look so darn cute. Right? Right.)

thanks for taking these! I'm soooo cute.

You can do it like this:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tom7misc login
(empty password)
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tom7misc co escapex

Then read the file HACKING for instructions on how to compile.
After you compile, you probably want to run "make zip" which will put an Escape.app in your /tmp directory, and also make a zip of that (just like what you get from the webpage) in the source directory.

Good luck!

which is... an IMPOSSIBLE SHAPE

a green spherical elephant!

Is there documentation on how to download the files directly from sourceforge?

Peering through the crushed ice, it was suddenly clear that the thin layer of frozen water covered a greenish sphere the size of an elephant. Prodding the sphere with an hockey stick resulted in nothing at all - but dropping an hockey puck on it unleashed (to be continued)

They tried to get the broken zamboni off the ice using a helicopter, but it snapped off the rope and crushed through the ice.

Thanks! I don't know how it can happen that someone can look realer than reality. It might have something to do with the "unsharp mask" filter.

I admire anyone who can convince random strangers to let him take their picture without feeling or acting weird. I just can't do it.

(I can't remember if this is cliché) but everyone in your pictures comes out looking realer than people look in real life. How does that happen? And, are there particular photographers-of-people you admire?
 
4103. Grossed out in Chicago (cache-mtc-ab10.proxy.aol.com) – 27 Feb 2006 20:28:10 Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
Well just like all of you I found a mushroom in my bathroom just about 15 mins ago so I came online to check it out and found all of you writting with the same problem that I have. I think that this is very gross and I wish I knew what exactly would help so I don't waste money. The mushroom I found looked like the ones you see outside by a tree but lighter, and it was pretty big. I have 2 toddlers and I don't even want them in the bathroom now. I found it where the tub meets the vanity. My kids do a lot of splashing so I don't know if this problem will ever go away

RC: Escape doesn't currently support web proxies. I should get around to adding support, I guess, but I haven't yet since I thought most people just use NAT these days.

Yes, "triage" is getting huge (and kinda slow) so the plan is to separate levels into directories. This won't actually speed things up right now, because the game searches through all subdirectories. But that information could probably be loaded 'on demand'.

uenko: it's not hard to compile yourself on OSX. Actually, it should be a matter of checking the source code out via CVS and then just typing 'make framelinks' and then 'make zip'. But, I'd rather not have to resort to that... it's unfortunately just an unforseen shame that sourceforge's OSX machines have been down for months. If it continues I'll try to find access to another mac with an early version of OSX on it.
 
4100. RC (216.129.185.146) – 27 Feb 2006 16:28:26 UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]
Great game. Even my three year old son loves to play it. I have a question and possibly a suggestion.
First I cannot get it to work through my proxy server (wingate pro running on NT4). I tried the alt connect and added port 8888 to my proxy server. Any tricks I should know??
Second Perhaps the levels could be grouped into seperate directories to decrease load times. Like putting solved levels into a seperate directory or mayby by difficulty.
I am going to see if I can do it manually.

How hard is it to compile on OSX. The box I have has the default compiler that comes with OSX, and maybe we can download the needed files to compile it ourselves.

Are there instructions available?
