Well, my friends – I think we’re done. URR works on at least seven different Windows 10 systems without crashing and without triggering virus warnings upon download; the memory leakage issue and the saving/loading issues you’ll remember from a few weeks ago are all fixed; and more bugs have been dealt with in the interim. … Read More
Hello everyone! Not much to report this week. Sadly – having just said in last week’s entry how much better my head is doing – I’ve had a week of head / eye complaint. It’s all psychological rather than physiological (I haven’t had any concussion symptoms in over a year now) but as anyone whose … Read More
This has been an excellent week of progress! I have moved from where we were last week (after a ton of work in large part courtesy of Greg Scott / Sudasana) with a single working executable, to now a proper pipeline; I can produce and test a new executable whenever I want, and I’ve confirmed the … Read More
Hello everyone! Just a very quick one this week. The Python 3.7 and updated libtcod version of URR… is compiling to exe using PyInstaller!! This is excellent news. The next step is to figure out what DLLs and the like need to be packaged with it. (Oh, I’ve also fixed a whole bunch of bugs … Read More
More progress this week! URR in Python 2.7: my team is trying to get it working, but it’s proving tricky. The combination of an out-of-date Python, an out-of-date version of (lib)tcod, and an out-of-date compiler… is, unsurprisingly, a challenge. But they’re trying it, and I’m amazingly grateful. URR in Python 3: in more promising news, … Read More
This week has been less full than last week so I’ve been able to devote a lot of time to getting URR ready. I am now pursuing two paths, and I’ve made progress on both. Whichever one works out first will be the one I use to release URR 0.8. OPTION ONE: Get it working in … Read More
Not much to report this week, I’m afraid. It has been another extremely busy week of term work-wise (working on a huge grant and beginning to mark student submissions from the class I’m teaching), but I’ve found a little bit of time to continue trying to get the finished URR 0.8 packaged. Right now there … Read More
Hello everyone! So, this week’s headline: incredibly busy week of work that unfortunately consumed my weekday evenings as well as my weekday days, but I spent the weekend attempting to fix the compiling-to-exe problem – although sadly without success. However, thanks to some great comments on the previous entry which I’ve since followed up with … Read More
Good news! Lots more bug-fixes this week, and I now cannot find a crash bug anywhere! I’ve spent many, many hours this week doing everything I can think of doing within the game world, and it has been a long time now since I’ve run into a bug from talking to people, moving around, looking … Read More
Hello everyone! This week turned into something far busier than I expected with work, but I have not stopped pushing 0.8 to completion. I’ve cleared out a bunch of other serious bugs I’ve found this week, including that bug I mentioned last time where the game appears to have frozen during world generation (but actually hasn’t), … Read More
