So is bank robbery supposed to be like, rediculously easy? I just walked into the bank, slipped the teller a note, casually strolled back out and now have 5000 dollars.

Not if you rob the vault. You'll get a far bigger chunk of change by doing that, but you WILL work for it.

Yeah, I was never able to do it, but I think you can walk away with almost 50,000$

My ninja walks away with 100,000 to 200,000 dollars every vault raid.
The only reason I'm not a multitrillionaire yet is because the bank stays closed for so long.

Kind of a weird question but. Why can't I go full screen? Was the function moved to new keys or something?

For that method, yes, it's intended to be ridiculously easy. You may have difficulty doing this repeatedly, however.

That's operating system dependent. My understanding is that full screen support was removed from the console in Windows 7. You might be able to run the game in a console emulator to get around that.

I guess I just had good luck, because I got 20K from it before I decided it was time to start actually furthering the Liberal agenda.

So I'm trying to get the source and compiling working on linux, never really used linux before but I'm starting to get into it.

"vherid@ubuntu:~/lcsgame$ ./bootstrap
./bootstrap: 2: ./bootstrap: autoreconf: not found"

I thought I installed the building stuff and the library for curses. Tried installing autoreconf, it doesn't seem to be working.

So you installed bin-utils?
Did you also install autoconf? I think that's required. Regardless, I have it installed.

It would also help to tell us what distribution you have.

I did not have bin-utils installed, or autoconf. I was trying to install autoreconf. I think bin-utils and autoreconf wouldn't work, said it couldn't find the package, but it installed autoconf. I was able to continue and compile the game now. I'm using ubuntu, I've had it for like an hour lol. I was looking around and see the appeal of using say arch, but considering I've never done any of this before I wasn't sure about just starting with arch.

So it's working now? You managed to successfully compile and run LCS after installing autoconf?

Just starting with Arch is a very bad idea. Starting with Ubuntu, or some other preconfigured-oriented distro is the right path to go for somebody switching from Windows, Macintosh, or a similar operating system. It presents you with an environment that works right off the bat, and which you can explore and learn the basics of Linux with. Afterwards, when you've learned the basics and know what you're doing, go ahead and switch to Debian, Gentoo, Arch, whatever you want.
I personally find Arch to be one of my favorite distributions. Yes, there is a lot of configuring and customization (as in, I had to configure everything). This complexity is very confusing for beginners, but this configurability allows me to tune everything to my specific needs. I want to program? Done. I want to write music, do studio work, or set up my own fully software studio? Done. I want to do any number of other things, and I want them done a certain way, and I want everything to look a certain way? Done.
To sum it up, I find Arch appealing, but I would not recommend it as the starting point for somebody new to Linux.

Yep it's working as far as I'm concerned, I'm playing it now. There was errors and shit as it was going through the compile but I imagine that's normal and such and it didn't stop the compile. I got terminus font installed and working nicely too just for this.

I'm on Windows, and when a certain part compiles, it vomits macro redefinition errors all over the output log, something about MOUSE_MOVED.

Yeah, pay this no mind. PDCurses and Windows.h don't play nicely with each other, but we don't use the mouse, so it doesn't matter on either count. Ideally we wouldn't ever include these at the same time, and I have tried to ensure this happens for as few files as possible, but I recall this not being trivial in a few cases.
