.exes just throw up a text file when double-clicked. Yeah, it's a bitch.

[Outcast Orange]

Sorry Akigagak, I don't really know how to port this to mac.

Here comes the next one:

Terrain will be a lot more even than that,
because I haven't finished the code that averages the whole thing smooth.

What do you think now, Duke 2.0?

EDIT:

Here's something interesting:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Apparently the erosion cut all the way through the map in one spot,
and made a structure similar to a bottomless pit.

[qwertyuiopas]

Well, OpenGL should run unchanged on a mac, it's most likely the window creation code, if anything.

Or maybe it just needs to be compiled for a mac, and the source code is all fine and cross-platform already.

[eerr]

what great adventures will fill these newly generated islands?

[Outcast Orange]

Well, you can't adventure quite yet, but at some point, you ought to be able to run around and get stuck. :)

Here's the latest bug:

Completely interesting, I assure you.

EDIT:

Trees! They work again:

I'm so pleased with my trees now.

Did you change the colors a bit, or is the contrast on my TV just screwed up?  It's an old TV, so I'm assuming the latter... either way, looks really nice, the colors are a little brighter (at lesat they look like it on my old CRT TV...)

[Alexhans]

if you don't use any windows specific function I think this should work:

#ifdef __APPLE__
#include <OpenGL/OpenGL.h>
#include <GLUT/glut.h>
#else
#include <GL/glut.h>
#endif

[Outcast Orange]

Alex, I really need you to help me figure that out.
I'm guessing I should put that in my headers.h?

Here are all of my libraries:
#include <string>
#include <ctime>
#include <math.h>
#include <gl/gl.h>
#include <gl/glut.h>
using namespace std;

There were four more, but I realized I don't use them anymore and I've cut them out.
I'm also trying to drop pdcurses, since it isn't used in the program at all,
but it seems to show up in the compile every time regardless.

I know gl/gl.h should probably be taken into consideration. It seems important.

[timmeh]

Sounds like the PDCurses library is still in the linker settings... you may have removed the #include lines, but not removed it from the linker/compiler settings.  Don't remember off the top of my head how to do that, but if you're still having trouble with it when I get my computer back I'd be glad to help

[Outcast Orange]

I search the setting furiously. There is no mention of the pdcurses library or folders.
It seems to be inherent with the project in some close-knit way.
The odd thing is this project has been copied chunk by chunk into a the files of a new project.
It is beyond me why remnants remain.

I am certain it still includes it, because there is a line during compile which pauses extra long,
and it says something about pdcurses.

EDIT:

Okay, Orange is in again.
Right now only his move commands work,
and since I haven't built in a program flow yet,
he's plastered to the ground like a lead cactus.

This time around, things are much easier to get done.

Things left to do:
Return Orange's dig abilities.
Process flow rethink.
Height-map averaging.

After that, things will be up to standards, and I can go back to adding in brand new features.
Sorry water, not until I'm ready.

EDIT: Orange can pick up tiles again, he still can't place them though.
I'm off to Thanksgiving nonsense time, so I'll hopefully be back some time in less than 6 hours from now.
Otherwise, tomorrow will be program-tastic.

Soo close to being caught up.
I am drooling with wonders.

[SolarShado]

Looks good

I have to ask though, what kind of erosion punched a hole straight through??

[Jack_Bread]

I missed those screen right under my post. XD
Those are REALY awesome! Everything's looking great!
Yes, I'm still here and I won't die. I just had nothing to really say since I'm not really a programmer(trying to learn, though. :O)/

[Outcast Orange]

Orange has back all of his abilities.
I'm going to add in a couple more while I'm here,
since they're super relevant and meld well with the mechanics.

I worked out the game-flow, and as stands:
-Time is turn-based always.
-You can toggle it to real-time with the "I" key.

I also got cohesion back in.
I would have dug out a cave and posted a screen,
but I'd rather wait for the new mechanics.

It's good to hear from you Jack Bread, the forums were getting less cheery
Look forward to tons of stuff added tomorrow, right after I put in height-map averaging..

[Outcast Orange]

There are two new mechanics, but I'm on a role, so expect more soon.

Instead of auto-collapsing the tunnels as you dig them,
I have given Orange the ability to pluck the tile above him out of the ceiling of a cave.

Stomp is a completely different thing now.
You can stomp up to ten tiles downward.
The cohesion of the ground breaks, in a radius based on the height you fell.
So you can punch holes through the tops of caves, and break up the ground.
Also, after a certain height, you actually disintegrate ground tiles.

I generated a crazy map with tons of floating islands, then stomped a few of them out of the sky.
It was pretty sweet. There weren't any wide enough to leave an outline-hole in them though.

[Outcast Orange]

Sometime today, when I wake up, there will be a new release.
There are certain new things that I neglected to mention so far.

Prepare for something intense.

Somehow, Jack Bread survived last time.
I hope he is as lucky tomorrow.
