Thanks for listening! Yeah, I moved the heart from "Aloof" (the singing in the chorus is just too annoying) to puiipu, cos that one is beginning to grown on me. |

No, they shouldn't, because the player on a wire has never stopped electricity. "Beams" like lasers and transponder beams are meant to be different from the electricity flowing through wires, which is why you need transponders to mediate between the two. |

In my opinion, the current bot behaviour is good. Take lasers for example: You can stand on top of them without dying. If the bot is standing on the top of a transponder, it doesn't block electricy. So, in a way, the behaviour is consistent. |

Pull Up if I Pull Up is my favorite, for the music. |

No no, jetfuel was suggesting that the warning be ammended to say, "do not watch movies any more." So I'm like, not even "Transformers: The Movie?" |
| |
Who did he play? I don't recall him playing in BTTF. |

Should bots placed on top of wires stop electricity? It seems a mildly inconsistent that they don't, but do block electricity between transponders... |

Not even "Back to the Future"? |

$warning =~ s/Ben Stiller //; |

I haven't heard the album yet, but that's a helluva title. |
| |
Thanks for the warning, Tom7. I didn't even know the guy. |
| |
But clearly, these people still need some sort of stern reminder. |
| |
Hmmm, I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for people who watch movies where even the *trailer* is bad.... |

Here's an easy one: the status line of the editor doesn't always refresh after a canceled operation (e.g. click player start button, press esc, click another tile in the pallette. You can now lay down tiles on the board while the status bar still reads "Click to choose player start." A similar problem exists for teleports if you cancel before setting target.) |

This has been true for thousands of years. |

I'm sorry that you are having trouble with your computer. I am quite sure it has nothing to do with my game. I say this with some authority because (a) I wrote it, so I know what it does and (b) I have a degree in computer science (working on a PhD now) and understand how operating systems work. It's possible that your trouble started, coincidentally, at the same time you downloaded it, but it doesn't make sense that Escape would cause troubles like that, and it is unfair to think that starting a smear campaign against the game is going to help your computer troubles.
Under no circumstances should a user-level program be able to make your computer glitchy and crash. If it does, that's a bug with the operating system. But, moreover, Escape is at its heart a very simple program; it doesn't mess with operating system files in ANY way. In fact, if you just delete the application bundle it will have had NO net effect on the rest of your computer. So, if you think it's Escape, just delete the bundle, empty the trash, and you are rid of it forever.
[Also, this has nothing to do with Escape writing into its own application bundle; I talked with Marc about it and essentially the only reasons not to do that are (1) it is non-standard from a user's point of view and (2) it makes it impossible to securely install the game for multiple users without installing it multiple times. This same issue comes up on Windows and Linux too, but it's not obvious how to balance the convenience of a single-user self-updating distribution with the option for a multi-user install. Anyway, it's by no means a "disaster for macs."] |

Also, sometimes all of your friends may die in a freak gasoline fight accident. |

I'm not interested in your sarcasm. It's rude.
I would like to know why this is crashing my mac and what to do about it. |

Wow, is it really possible to make the OS unstable by writing, while in userland, to a folder that you *have* write permission for? That sounds a little dubious.
My girlfriend has an iBook, BTW, and has been playing and updating Escape with no issues. (but, man, I guess I'd better read up on the OS X so *I* don't make something explode...) |

Oh Tom, do I need to lecture you about Mac OS X system architecture? You so so so should not be writing user data into an application's bundle! For many reasons. You should write to me describing what you are doing so that I can tell you everything that's wrong about it and why and how you should be doing things..."
I suggest you pay attention to what this guy is saying. This is a disaster for macs.

I've had my ibook (mac os X) go very glitchy and I have enormous problems with crashing ever since downloading the latest version of escape. I still haven't solved the crashing problems, it's an ongoing nightmare. I won't be playing or downloading this game again. |
