Come on Winner! We need a windows port 

[winner]

I put off the windows port a little bit since I'm rewriting sections of it to use raw files for creatures.

[Korbac]

Not to worry, just good to see you're working on the game In all honesty it looks fabulous.

[Hugehead]

Sounds awesome and like development is moving fast, watching this.

[winner]

this is an example of what creature.txt looks like right now

Code: [Select]

everything outside of the brackets is ignored
[CREATURE:CUBE] unique identifier
[NAME:gelatinous cube]
[TILE:C][COLOR:RED]
[SPEED:50]
[_YUCKY][_ALIVE][_MOVES] includeing dashes lets them it know that it is an atribute
[EATS_PLANT][EATS_ALIVE]

[CREATURE:MOSS]
[DEFAULT:CUBE] starts off with all of cube's setting by default
[NAME:cave moss]
[TILE:;][COLOR:GREEN]
[SPEED:100]
[MOVE:DIAGONAL]       not really, just making sure things work
[_PLANT][_ALIVE][_EGG][NOT_YUCKY]
[CAN'T_EAT_PLANT]     more properly would be plural but that would be a litte more work to parse

[Hugehead]

Wow, this seems pretty simple to develop, I might be able to do some work with some of the simpler bits myself if you want some help.

I got a friend to make a windows build for me

Would be nice if I had a list of controls.

[winner]

the only controls are "enter" "delete"
"space" which places or removes a wall
"?" and the arrow or number keys
and capital letters

[Hugehead]

Hmmm... It crashes after about 100 turns but I see alot of promise, keep up the good work.

uh oh, what does the crash say?

[alfie275]

It only happes when you spawn a creature, crashes on the hundredth turn after spawning.

[Cthulhu]

I also got that.

I really do like the idea of this game/simulator. Good job for being original.

I don't like all the caps; perhaps you could could stray from the df-like raws in that respect? You could make comments of things that are right of and including '#' or "//" .

For spawning creatures, you could hit a key like [c]reate to go into a [c]reature-spawning menu where you could type out the name in non-caps, select from a list, or type a number or letter corresponding to a [c]reature being listed.


I'm getting a segmentation fault too after about 50+ turns; i didn't count how many. I'm compiling it on 64-bit linux using the command "make -f makefile." Using GDB, I get this error:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000004023b7 in main ()

50 bucks says its array problems.
