My interface is pretty close to yours, actually, except that it uses a datatype instead of 'string' as the type of each cell.

Unfortunately, I think the real portability issues come not from the signature used to interface with the database, but with the query language of the SQL server. For simple stuff postgresql and mysql probably agree, but if you try to do anything moderatly complicated, you're going to need to know which database you're talking to.

You might be interested in my SML/NJ PostgreSQL binding, which is part of a larger project at:
http://smlweb.sourceforge.net/

It has a more functional interface, and it's done its time with some moderately heavy loads on dynamic web sites.

If we could write our implementations to the same signatures, wouldn't that be spiffy!

I'm aware of the other "Escape", but mine has been around since like 1996. (This is a port of an older DOS version.) Is the Mac game really older?

Looks to me like you just ripped off Nuclear Nova's game of the EXACT SAME NAME AND GAMEPLAY, which has been around for about a year or more. Way to be creative! Except not.

What relation does this game have to the popular Mac OS X game also called Escape made by Nuclear Nova (nuclearnova.com). It is very similar and predates this by a fair margin.

Thanks!

I haven't uploaded the version where num+ gives more options yet... that question mark thing must be a bug with SDL, though. Anyway, try again next time the game updates.

hi

great game BTW ..;)

here (on a Mac G5, German Keyboard), neither num+ nor ? work for more options... whereas upload, comment and others seem to work.

Conbulations!

Yesterday I moved to a new computer at work, and noticed that one of the fonts on it was Action Jackson. (and these weren't user-installed fonts, they were put there for building phone directory ads)

2432. Shaun (68.156.43.33) – 15 May 2005 16:39:22 [ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]

I found a small mushroom sticking out from the grout in my shower. Gross! I live in Florida and everyone talks about mold and how it can just take over. I am thinking about getting a profesional in here to rip up some tiles and destroy what I suspect to be a mold problem in the underlying surfaces. Here is a post I read from another site...

..it probably means that the plaster behind the tiles is seriously damp. Fungi will only produce the mushrooms (basidiocarps in posh) when there has been enough growth of the main part (or mycelium) to make the organism think that producing spores (what the "mushroom is for) is worthwhile. These basidiocarps can be produced very rapidly (like overnight). What probably really wants doing is stripping off all the tiles and drying out the walls, then retiling and grouting with that anti-fungal grouty stuff that Unibond advertise on the telly. Failing that you could leave a fan heater in the room on full blast (with the extractor fan on too) to push some dry air through. You might have to do this for more than 24 hours. Then you could regrout with the antifungal stuff.

Really neat... but the uses for it seem pretty technical.

Yeah, I like how the essential thing for the obverse of the card being visible is the following condition: if the camera were the light source, there are enough big white objects around (like the book) to reflect enough light onto the card face. What a crazy duality!
