"Distro" !

  Hi all,

I've just surfed around and found another SuperTux :-) from Charles Goodwin. 
It seems that it's a died project. Does anyone know something about it ?

   Hi there,

I couldn't vote for the "billk.png" since I receive all the messages in 
plain/text digest mode and couldn't manage to get it out. I'll check for it 
in the CVS then :-D

In my words, "little linux gurus" are your own 5-year-old kids for example.=
=20
And when we, adult people, talk about a "distro", I don't think that they c=
an=20
understand what we mean.

On one hand, "CD" (IMHO) is an easier word for kids because nowadays, kids =
are=20
born with things like that. And you won't have to explain to them what a=20
"distro" is.

On the other hand, the word "distro" may give you an occasion to talk to yo=
ur=20
little kids about GNU/Linux, and of course about your favorite "distros" :-D

I wonder how they called the "coins" in NES Mario ... I played it soooo lon=
g=20
time ago ^^

Ricardo,

would you please merge your editor with the latest CVS and send a patch
against the CVS as soon as possible? I would like to include
it into the secret *fluster"Chr.-Release". ;)
It is not important how far the development has gone!
I'll see it anyway. ;)

There are some people who have made music for my GPL games in the past,
or allowed me to use them (e.g., gave permission)

Karkko Rotsten (aka DJ Roz) did some great music for Circus Linux!:

Sami I Saarnio (aka Nutcase) let me use some of his music.  Most of
the songs in Defendguin were by him:

  ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/music/artists/nutcase/
  sa...@cc...
  [not sure if the email is still valid]

I can bug them, unless you want to. ;)

I did an 'apt-get search tracker' and found a few in Debian Woody:

  cheesetracker - Sound Module Tracking Program (IT - Impulse Tracker Clo=
ne)
  soundtracker - Sound module editor/player. Supports .xm modules,
                 .xi instruments.

Enjoy!

Hi all,

It would be great to receive some new .mod or .it files,
which we can release under the GPL.

Maybe we can take them from a Open/Free music archive in
the internet?

Last but not least,
which programs allow me to produce such music files?

I hope the segfault doesn't appear anymore.
It should be recognized now, if a level is incomplete.

I had this segfault, too. But I don't know how to reproduce it. :(
I'm not even sure, if it is related to a incomplete level.

If you can reproduce it, I would glad to receive
your backtrace. (gdb ./supertux)

It looks like that:
 Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

I've never been happy with the laptop graphic.

Since the 'drone' bad-guys (like mushroom gumbas in Super Mario Bros) are
little BSOD'd monitors, I figured that laptops would be good as the
stompable-and-kickable enemies -- which are turtles in the original SMB.

I think the current laptop graphic sucks, though.  (I'm proud of the BSODs,
though, so don't change them!)

Anyone here want to take a crack at making better looking laptops?
(THey don't have to be blue-green, either...  just easier to see... maybe
drawn at more of angle... they need to look solid, and not something
you might trip over ;) )

This happens when the gameloop tries to load an incorrect level.dat. For eg. 
the level3.dat is not complete yet. In this case the program does a 
Segmentation Fault, it's not that bad but I think we should be prepared for 
such a situation.

  Hmm, I have just looked at the "sound.h" and "sound.c" today. And I discover 
that there'r still some of these functions in "gameloop.c":

int Mix_PlayingMusic();
void Mix_HaltMusic();
int Mix_PlayMusic();
void Mix_FreeMusic();
void Mix_FreeChunk();
int Mix_OpenAudio(int a, int b, int c, int d);

They must not exist anywhere else but in "sound.c" only ! Nobody else should 
know about the SDL_Mixer exept the sound.c. The following functions (from 
sound.h) must be used instead of those above.

Mix_Chunk * load_sound(char * file);
void play_sound(Mix_Chunk * snd);
Mix_Music * load_song(char * file);
int playing_music(void);
int halt_music(void);
int play_music(Mix_Music*music, int loops);
void free_music(Mix_Music*music);
void free_chunk(Mix_Chunk*chunk);
int open_audio(int a, int b, int c, int d);

Added:
Primilary DEBUG_MSG macro
Modifed Makefile for supporting the -DDEBUG

Changes:
playsound() replaced by play_sound(): I tried to keep everything uniform :-D
gameloop.c exit immediately if it can not open a level file.

friend ! (wink at Tobias)

Hi all,

I split up the gameloop() into game_event() game_action() and
game_draw().

Furthermore I added a 'PAUSE' feature. Press 'p' to try it out.

First, I have to say, that I enlarged level2 only for testing.
