Rocks'n'Diamonds

Right, so the probem is that '0' also means "toggle between 4% and 100% speed" when -DDEBUG, and -DDEBUG is turned on by default in the current Makefile. That might just be an artifact of point in development cycle, but it's what anyone using this change would see at the moment. Since I'm ...

Holger, what would you say to embedding those definitions in the standard game config? Yes, this looks like very handy shortcut definitions. I think I will add them right away just as you described it as the new default shortcut values. (Currently, only "warp / single step" is defined by ...

I'd handle the /etc/magic issue by putting a "rocksndiamonds.magic" file into the source tree; and probably a `make magic` target in the Makefile (if there's anything lie a unified coherent way to do that on all applicable systems -- seems dubious). If the Makefile target isn't possible, p...

This brings to mind that you never commented on config recommendation: tape player buttons & actions (which is related to this); nor copy level file, save, overwrites wrong level (which isn't)... :)

Hi, you recently removed the top-level README file with a log claiming it was "outdated". Now, there are certainly parts of it which are out of date, possibly no longer useful or at least needing changes to be currently relevant. But other parts still look useful. I think in particular the...

The Walpurgis files -- and I think this applies to most of the others you have transmigrated onto your site over the years -- do not extract into useful path locations. When you build a 4.0-final package, will you include (as optional side-downloads, I suppose) all of these various additions, packag...

In fact, one of the two remaining outbound levelset links on your levels.html page is also dead: Andreas Buschbeck's work is no longer on elemu-project.de. And, unfortunately, the Wayback Machine claims to have scraped copies, but its links (like http://web.archive.org/web/20130506095152/http://www....

I've been using Firefox (40.0.3); switched momentarily to Chrome (45.0.2454.85), but it was no different. Doing "View source" on each page, General Discussion has: (div id="page-footer") (div class="navbar") (div class="inner") (span class="corners-top&qu...

Looks like the checkmark is meaningless? No! I guess it's supposed to mean "check here to turn this on", but looks much more like "this is already on [though in fact it isn't]". Once you've turned it on it becomes an "x" which is slightly more understandable as "cl...

Something has definitely broken in the forum. Today when I reloaded the top page it showed new activity in General Discussion, Bug Reports and Off Topic -- but only this one (OT) actually had new activity. I have the checkbox at the bottom of each forum, next to "Subscribe forum", but I do...

Until this reply just now by Lee Brewer, I hadn't seen any activity on RnD forums for weeks. BUT! Today I see half a dozen posts by Holger, all from August 25th! All about graphics corruption fixed in one of the 4.0.0 git checkins. I check every day or two, reloading http://www.artsoft.org/forum/ind...

What OS & version; what version of RnD; built by you, downloaded prebuilt from here, or built by your distro; what version and build pedigree of SDL libraries?

Perhaps the bug can be described as "no `make install` target in Makefile". Instead, the packager has to figure out what parts of the source tree constitute a working game setup. So perhaps they should refer to the installable packages on your site? Well yeah. But those include source, and...

Same on Ubuntu. The Ubuntu package descends linearly from the Debian. But I think this is more a bug in RnD itself. The top-level Makefile has a bunch of targets which refer to ./Scripts/make_{backup,dist,enginetest,levelsketch_images,prerelease}.sh -- but ./Scripts/... is not pulled by `git pull`, ...

Thanks for "getting" me, James :)
