Hi,
Thanks again for this great game SpaceZero! I still enjoy playing this game a lot. Thanks for it! I see there's been a new svn commit, thanks!
It seems like there was a compile problem, and maybe this last commit solved that. Thank you!
Before that though, I remember that I was seeing these segfaults.
It happens after letting the game sit for a while. Think of it as a "cold war" session of the game, where the player is building towers, upgrading ships, and just waiting for the economics to accumulate before getting ready to take over the universe! :D And after letting it "sit" there for a while to accumulate gold, I come back and it's gone, and then there's a segmentation fault on the terminal.
I was starting to think maybe this was related to something with older dependencies or newer libraries or something.
I was hoping to get some thoughts- does anyone know how would one track something down like this? Would a gdb trace point me to something?
Thanks for your ideas and feedback on it, and thanks again for SpaceZero!
Best Regards,
ykw
