Agree with Eizzoux, in that the originals look like real 3.5" floppy disks with labels; the proposed replacements look wrong. The white area is for writing in; labels with solid yellow or especially red would be less useful, so they were never seen. I also think colors, whether solid or the ori...

I will be unhappy with this if useful discussion happens there and is not copied here, as I am not going to add Yet Another online forum to my rounds. What if you raise whatever discussion you think you were going to raise there, here, and see how it goes, first? This is only slightly less realtime ...

It would be a lot less confusing to make these into a single user interface setting with >2 values (doesn't matter whether these are then internally translated into the current 2 settings or not): Skipping levels [menu]: - no, solve in order - ask before skipping - skip around freely ... or whatever...

... and I think the status quo is pretty much just fine. If hundreds of bugs per week were being reported, things would be different. People occasionally mention something. The dev team (of one) address them when he gets to them. There is no benefit to adding extra formalisms to Holger's process unl...

(1) I don't think you should get rid of the bugzilla instance unless it's active trouble to maintain. (2) the suggestions about automatic updating of comments on a bug thread here seem ... unwise. Like they would be really hard to get right, a lot of trouble to maintain, and full of exceptions and t...

Holger, Don't remove it. Just change the metadata around it, make it clear to the downloader that it's a tool that only works on old-Windows and with old-RnD (whatever cutoff version, if anyone makes the effort to determine the cutoff). That leaves it available for people interested in various sorts...

I see no mention of 'R'n'D Plus' on bd-fans.com/FanStuff.html ... ?

I offer this speculation. At this point I don't even remember if I've ever played this levelset, but by eye I see something that **might** have the key to the solution. If you set off a bomb type device next to the blue box, it seems to me that the resulting yellow emeralds would have the behavior w...

Ok! My current tree is origin'd to your artsoft.org site and I don't see any reason to change it, I was just curious about observed behaviors :) A fresh clone from github for me takes 4.66 seconds, indicating that my pathetic desktop i3-4170 is nevertheless somehow beefier than whatever your patheti...

We're paying for 300Mbps symmetric, but AT&T are actually delivering 360Mbps symmetric (go figure!) ... yet I just ran another `time git clone https://git.artsoft.org/rocksndiamonds.git` and -- well, this time it only took 209.49 seconds, but that's still pretty darn slow... You mentioned a gith...

(In very closely related news, I ran a new `git clone` on your repository, wondering if there was some damage causing my differences -- before I realized the need to `make`. And that clone is still running, very very slowly. I re-cloned a completely unrelated, twice-as-big repo (from github) as a cr...

Hmmm, a new `git pull` pulls nothing else, leaving me at commit f627531aca2f234261cff93f0240a3224f50191d 'version number set to 4.3.6.0'. Diffing that with the downloaded 4.3.6.0 tarball gets similar differences -- until I `make`. The downloaded tarball includes some build output files and I apparen...

but I cannot find your source code in it -- not my code, I was just doing web archaeology :) Not sure which source code you compared with which other source code here... :? Hmmm. It was the result of a `git pull` last night, vs. the file downloaded from arthurdent.de. I must have pulled right in th...

Holger -- the links aren't that obvious on the page. The code is in -- http arthurdent.de gallery Rocks%27n%27Diamonds%204.3.6.0.zip -- which I don't know how to successfully quote to make a working URL on this BBS software. '%27' and '%20' are literal single-quote and space characters. Or go to art...
