Crap, I didn't mean to enable those in the released version. Don't use 'em, because your levels won't validate on the server, and because they aren't implemented yet. |

What do the new "arrow" tiles do? Are they decorational or do they have a function that I haven't found yet? |

It's not dumb, although you could probably find the answer in the escape.txt documentation if you dug through it enough.
When a panel is pressed, the target of that panel swaps with the "bizarro world" (otherwise known as the alternate layer). Whatever's there goes here, and whatever's here goes there. Generally the bizarro world just contains empty floor, but you can put any sort of tiles there that you want. To edit it, press 'y' in the editor or click the "layer" menu at top.
So, to make an exit appear:
1. set a panel targeting some empty space
2. switch to the alternate layer
3. draw an exit in that space. |

This is probaby a dumb question, but anyway this is it.
I know how to set a panel to make something disappear but how do you set a panel to make something appear when pressed, such as an exit door.

It's a known bug. You can zoom in and out (keys [ and ]) which should let you reach anything on the level without scrolling. |

Tom,
I'm working on a large level, and I need to put down a panel whose target is off the screen. I can't seem to scroll using the arrow keys while in "click to set the destination" mode. What can I do? |

Yup, I'm working on that one... |
| |
I noticed a minor glitch while playing "Don't Touch That, Hugbot!" It seems that when hugbot moves to the next touch panel (near the exit), he will jump back to the previous one and then jump forward again. |

I saw -- I noticed a sudden up-tick in the number of e-mails from strangers and knew something must have been cookin'! |

OK. =) Well, I can't claim to be consistent with the way linux folks do stuff!
It would probably make sense to have the source code include a version number, since the source code doesn't update itself (there'd be little point in that!). I was thinking about the binaries. |
| |
"rolling my eyes" was a poor choice of words - damn your non-editable comments section! - but usually linux progs are distributed as tarballs, so "foobar-x.y.z.tar.gz" is considered "normal", i think. Often, fairly shaky or amateurish progs unpack into "foobar-src" or "foobar" or, in some extreme cases, unpack into the current directory instead of creating a subdirectory(!). It can sometimes be handy to have two different-version source trees side-by-side. I know nothing of this self-updating of which you speak, so yeah, there's presumably reasons for doing it the way you do. I'm not really sure how this makes it difficult for distro makers, it might just be a consistency thing. |

Hmm. Well, Escape updates itself, so I'm not sure what sense that would make (you'd install in escape-200503150, but later you'd have 200601010 in there). How does this make including a game in a distro easier, or why does it make you roll your eyes to not do it? (Just curious.) |
| |
versioned, i presume, as in "escape-1.0.0.tar.gz" for example, with the top directory being "escape-1.0.0" rather than "escape-src". It seems to be normal practice for linux software. Not wanting to be a snob, but when i see a tarball unpack to "foogame" rather than "foogame-x.y.z" i give a little sigh and roll my eyes. ;) |

Here in Australia, where we write dates as dd/MM, pi approximation day is the 22nd of July. |

No indeed. ;)
But maybe it can last until I graduate... |

I don't guess the doubling pattern can continue indefinitely though, unless the people there are <i>really</i> amazing, though. |
