1. RPG game

To whomever might give a darn,

I have recently uploaded a new version of my game to RDS' website.
Check it out on the recent user contribs or archive.
Let me know if you can't get it to work or if you can.
Please report any bugs to me at keroltarr at hotmaildotcom or this forum.
Bear in mind it is a WIP game demo. 
So far you just walk around in a field of grass with trees and rocks.
Left_Click to walk; ESC to return to main menu.

I for one believe that using a computer to play games is a complete waste of
time.
However as a courtesy I am downloading your game and will try it.
I will get back to you with a full report.

On the other thing I think adding an index makes more stuff to keep track of.
Does this make it find faster?

Thank you, and I respect your opinion about computer games.
The same could be said for all games computer or otherwise.
By the same token, any activity that is not productive is a waste of time.
However, I believe that playing computer games are a good way to relax in the 
eveing after a long day of productive time well spent.
Also, depending on the game, playing can be a healthy exercise for the mind.

I don't know if it's faster, I haven't benchmarked it.
In my opinion, having an extra index sequence is 
simpler/better than having a nested loop.

thanks for taking the time to test my game,

4. Re: RPG game

I downloaded your game and get a $=illeagal character error.

I believe this is because I am using Euphoria 2.3 and you are using 2.5.

I tried to install 2.5 at one time but could never get it to work and it 
played havoc with my 2.3 stuff, so I unistalled it.

Later I re-partitioned my drive for the purpose of re-installing 2.5 on 
another partition so it wouldn't interfere with 2.3.

I haven't done that yet because:
 1.)For my purposes of using Euphoria, I'm not having any problems with 2.3.
    (The "If ain't broke don't fix it " theory)

 2.)I think I have to pay more money to get 2.5 work with the binder or 
    something like that.

 However if ever do get 2.5 up and running, your game will be the first 
 program I will test. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I tried to download it from the rapideuphoria website and It said the
zip was corrupt. I tried three times. I have windows xp, and was using
windows to open it, not winzip or winrar.

6. Re: RPG game

I got Euphroria 2.5 install on my win98 drive (C: when running 98).

I ran your game and get,

c:windows\desktop\rpg-game\gameplayOOP.ew:188 in function loadMap()
bad file number (-1)

I put puts(1,path) above that line and get,

E:\LewyT\Progects\RPG_Game\Program\Maps\test.map

I don't know how E: got in there.
E: is my win2000 drive where I have 2.3 installed.

Euphoria 2.5 and your game are both installed in C: which I am booting
from.

Woops, it looks like I hard-coded the the path I was using on my machine.
This is exactly the sort of thing I hoped somebody would catch.
thanks, I'll fix it and upload a new version ASAP.

8. Re: RPG game

Sorry for the double post;

I just re-uploaded my game demo "LewyT's RPG Game"
The new version fixes the path bug reported by Don Cole.
I had the path hard-coded into "Options.txt" (I'm not sure why)
If you want to avoid this error simply edit Options.txt to the correct path.
My fix removes this line altogether and gets the path from current_dir()
instead.

later,
