Found a bug?

Are there too many/few enemies/power ups/levels? Is the game too easy/difficult? Too much/little hipoints/air? Power ups too powerful/weak?

Have an idea for a new feature you would like to see?

If any of the above applies, or you have something else to say about the game, just leave a comment on this page. If you want to start a discussion, or have a more lengthy comment, please post it on the newsgroup.

First of all, very neat game, very original.

I'm running OS X 10.5.4

I downloaded the cryptrover_1.1 source tar, built with no problems, and it plays fine.

I'm not sure if this is known, but when using the OS X terminal to run, "Cannot set invisible cursor Please try a different terminal" appears in the top right hand corner, just above hit points.

Doesn't seem to effect gameplay but is kind of annoying. :D

Cheers, Stu

Thank you Stu, to get rid of the message(which is more usful for debugging purposes i guess), in io.c comment out line 48:

mvaddstr(error_lines++,X_+1,"Cannot set invisible cursor);

;//mvaddstr(error_lines++,X_+1,"Cannot set invisible cursor");

and the 4 lines if (error_lines) {..} after it.

And now 2 questions/requests for you: 1. Do you see the previously visible parts of the level in dark gray after you move away? That didn't work in older versions of OS X. 2. Can you send me a mac binary with sound?

-Ido.

Hey Ido,

No problem, I'll do what I can to help out. I'll continue in the google groups newsgroup.

Cheers, Stu

Wow, awesome. Found this via the indygame blog. I've been looking at roguelikes lately due to my interest in PDCurses. I absolutely love this one.

I'd like to ask if it can be featured on my site in the future, that is if it ever gets to a finished state.
