The new( * ) + / - / 0 zoom keys in edit mode are great... [( * )Appeared in git a few days ago.] ... now can we have them in play mode? :) I'd actually been considering asking for this some time ago (though I was only thinking of a toggle between the two settings of Settings -> Graphics -> Small Ga...

"warp forward" (Play, Eject) has the same problem. Play a level half-way, hit ESC, replay to that point with non-playfield-drawing "warp forward". Game pauses with the final frame of action, but everything in the score part of the display is as it was before starting replay. (Hit...

The tooltip is displayed on any mouse activity while the mouse cursor is over the gadget, which is the case here when clicking the gadget the second time (if you keep the button pressed for a moment before releasing it, you will notice that the "properties" tooltip will be printed by the ...

Well, that's rather confusing! I put the file in place. New RnD binary still shows old graphics with '?' in the "Zoom" slot and no "Properties" button. But `strace` confirms that it is opening just one RocksDoor.p* file, which is the new one with no '?' graphic. ?!? Now that I kn...

If I install that as /usr/share/games/rocksndiamonds/graphics/gfx_classic/RocksDoor.png will it interfere with operation / appearance of RnD binaries less than a few hours old?

("zoom button" is somewhat intriguing, but doesn't seem to actually do anything... ?)

I pulled latest changes from git, and now the '?' button in the editor just prints "::: zoom button pressed with mouse button 1" (or 2 or 3). I see in the change log "moved element properties button in editor to more prominent position", but I don't see a new button -- quite un-p...

Playing RnD late at night with kids' room in earshot -- I found that even 10% volume sounded louder than I wanted it to. I added the numbers 1, 2 and 5 to the list of volumes. I think this accounts nicely for the non-linear behavior of human hearing vs. what the computer generates; while keeping the...

Trying to figure out some buggy behavior in EMC levels, I ran across this. Dave (I assume that's David Tritscher who is credited for the EMC engine in RnD?) shows a square of bugs with a lit dynamite in the middle, and what the exploded result should look like; and says that his latest (back then) u...

When I've had these problems it has often felt as if there was an off-by-one error somewhere in the time state accounting. I haven't studied how it works in the code, but in play it feels as if there are 6 (I think? haven't counted recently) "ticks" of the game clock per move. When doing a...

Hi Holger,

Please remove src/conftime.h from the repository and add it to .gitignore. Every time I do a pull I have to reconcile this since it's a build output file which has leaked into the repository.

> it's checked in to the repository now

I know :) I pulled git last night and saw it in the logs, built, saw it in action...

Ok, I checked that out, posted a useless "bug"... It looks like a bug tracker. If you've already put significant effort into configuring it for RnD, you should probably go with it; if not, just from a quick glance I would guess that bugzilla is generally more capable. But then you should r...
