Having played with the cornerneck monopods for a while, i hate them. They are spinners and baby-eaters. They don't do much other than go in frantic circles trying to find another critter to eat-- usually their own children. They always eat themselves into extinction. Forcing them to be herbivores didn't help. They just grappled with one another until they get tired and die.
I am trying to...

Today they suddenly evolved a more robust version with the neck attached at a corner. They can run faster and turn faster. They can eat each other to extinction in less than 30 minutes, so I think I am going to have to take them off omnivore mode if I want them to progress any further.
They might also be able to thrive in a larger environment without going off omnivore mode, but my computer...

Huh. The image works perfectly in the preview, but fails when I actually post. Lets try it this way...

There are several in the zip file, but they are almost all the same. These monopods have been dominating my ecosystem for several days now. I have trained them on all three of normal mode, race mode, and omnivore mode.
They have only two body parts, a flat foot and a thin neck. The head and neck wobble rapidly allowing the foot to waddle forward...

I have moved my critters back and forth between normal mode and race mode a couple times. The change seems to do them good.

Huh. Interesting. The comment preview formatted that correctly, but after posting it seems to ignore the pre tag.

The standard level set is quite hard. I *love* the idea of a level-pack tailored for small children.

I get this error when trying to compile the latest zaz from subversion. (revision 43)
I am guessing that some files were not checked in?

For hhexen I have tried both:
./configure --enable-assassin
./configure --enable-assassin --disable-gl
When I get some time to do further testing I can try again without the Assassin too.
For hheretic I am just doing
./configure

I have a problem that affects both hhexen and hheretic. After about 10 minutes of play (I have not timed it precisely) my keyboard locks up. If I am in full-screen mode, I get kicked back into windowed mode. The hhexen (or hheretic) window remains focused, and continues running. Enemies usually run over and kill me pretty promptly. My mouse cursor is invisible, and I cannot defocus the game. I...
