Hi,
if people want to help, they will do despite some inconveniance. Bob
don’t like one-click-hosters, i don’t like rar (please use an open
archive file format cry)
I tried the game. On first start it crashed with simply a black screen
and the Visual Studio Debugger window beneath it. Then it worked. The
visuals and sounds are nice, quite C-64’ish. Those balls sometimes
"flicker" which i find quite hmmm unpleasing. No doublebuffering, i guess.Am 22.12.2009 20:33, schrieb Bob Pendleton:

guys, ok speaking and arguing is good but what is interest with my
game? i want only some informations about this wget and uploading my
game...for sharing knowledges and a little fun:) so i used
rapidshare and megashare for sharing my game and sources, couldn't
you download it?? is it really big problem to arguing like this?? if
you can download my game, please play it and write your comments, i
need your comments about my game and codes;)
The “arguing” had nothing to do with your game or you. Just ignore it.
The fact that your code was hard to get to is a problem you need to
address.
If people have trouble downloading your code, they won’t spend a lot of
time trying to get it. A very few will send you a comment telling you
about the problem. (When I did the same thing I didn’t figure out what
was wrong for a long time. Nobody took the effort to tell me there was a
problem.) You really have to use download sites that can be reached by
all users. If they can’t be accessed by standard tools like wget, or the
site requires that you register, people will just give up trying to get
your code. There are many places like google code and sourceforge where
you can set up an download site and and anyone can access it. It may be
possible to do the same on rapidshare and megashare, it don’t know, I
don’t use those site. But, it is up to you to make sure it is as easy as
possible for people to get your code. It can take a while to learn how
to do that. Don’t worry about it. You’ll learn it.
The key thing to remember is that when you post something you are asking
people to spend time on you. They spend time on you for pretty much two
reasons, 1) the goodness of their hearts, and 2) the hope that by
helping you they will get something of value for themselves. In this
case the something of value is the opportunity to learn. Our time is the
only thing of true value we have.

P.S.
These words were engraved on a block of wood nailed to the wall above my
grandfathers desk:
“Illegitimi non carborundum” which is not Latin and doesn’t actually
mean anything. But, he thought it meant “don’t let the bastards grind
you down” which is very good advice. I should remember it more often.
