Please play and rate my game...

Hi, my name is Dennis and i'm a bit dissapointed
that no one wants to play and rate my game.
:'(

"F.S.A. Flying Saucers Attack"
(find it under section: ARCADE
you probably have to scroll down very far)

It's on the depot for almost a month now and
still no one has written a review for it...

i know i know... this happens to many games here
as i have seen but I just think that my game
does not deserve being ignored like that...
This may sound a bit arrogant but trust me you
won't regret the download.
:)

right now i'm down on my knees and i'm BEGGING
YOU to go play and rate my game.

Thanks in advance
Dennis Busch

The screenshot looked good. And you wanted people to play and rate your game, so i downloaded it.
The win version and the datafile.

The first time i tried it it started like it should, and i began to read the instructions.
(The space between the words was too big. A bit annoying)
Then after reading about the scoring system and how to shoot, i pressed space but nothing happened. I had to kill it to get out.

After that i tried to start it again but it didn't want to for some reason. It crashed after a few seconds without even showing a window.

Odd. Fix the win version and i will try again.

[edit] i tried to unpack it again but that didn't help.

I cannot find anything to fix for the win version
it was coded very carefully and i totally rely
on allegro for handling windows messages etc...

maybe there's a problem with the version
of allegro i used for the game and a different
version of the allegro dll that you already
have on your system.

Please go check if you have another version
of the Allegro DLL in your /windows/system32
or /windows/system directory and tell me, since
this is the only thing i can think of right now
which could cause these problems...

oh wait... not the only thing... other disturbing
things could be many problems running in the
background or sth. like that...

Please provide me with as many info on your
system as you can, such as
Windows Version
Programms running
CPU,RAM,Video,Sound etc...
and maybe i can help you.

If you're using the 4.1.x Allegro and with a dll, you're asking for trouble.

You should always either recompile your game with the latest WIP, or with the latest stable release. And if you won't, please add the old DLL (since version 4 Allegro should have a stable ABI).

I just wanted to say two things:
1-The win32 released version worked perfectly (hopefully, the good dll was in the zip :D)
2-ReyBrujo is right, you should update your allegro version :)

The all3934.dll is in the zip of the Win32 exe.

Ok i'll go download the latest stable allegro.

bad when you're always shooting "horizontally" no bombs can destroy the targets

Sir Dennis,

I couldn't compile the source from your site on my Mac - it's not Mac specific though, it looks like some definitions are missing.
Please find attached the error log.

To Frank:
...but shooting horizontally all the time
you cannot win the game and you don't score
any points...

---
To Peter:
I don't have access to any MAC and never used
one before but
i just had a look on your error.log

it seems you're trying to compile ALL the cpp
files...

MY MISTAKE i forgot to mention that the
ONLY FILE TO SEND TO YOUR COMPILER IS
"fugamain.cpp"
(This one will include all the others.)

I hope this'll work.

I also found out, that there are many things
to fix in the code, since i tried to compile it
with MSVC++6 about an hour ago and i got lots of
errors.
I will work this over the next week, if i find
any time and motivation to fix a 2 year old
code.

Dennis,

Right. It works now - you may not have used a mac before but you've written a mac game! Isn't Allegro marvellous ;)

game description said:

"TO PLAY YOU NEED THE DATAFILE AND ONE OF THE EXECUTABLES!"

No, you need the documentation too! How can anyone play a game without reading the docs first? I mean really... :P

Oh and I usually give one star less than everyone else, so nice game! I like it... :)

Let's see, my games (few as they may be) have been there for freaking years, and the only reason they have reviews AT ALL is because I was complaining that there weren't any, and you're complaining about ONE MONTH!?

Hell, most of us don't even look at the Depot that often. I sure as hell don't.

No, X-G, the world is not against you.. How much you want to bet he meant it? And wasn't being facetious?

How could someone NOT know? I've only been bitching about it for like half a year and it's only like two clicks away from every god damn thread I've been in (profile -> depot). ::)

PLUS, there was even the Blobgame thread a month back!

Which thread? Really. I don't pay attention all the time, and I'm usually here.. RP usually isn't ;)

X-G: There's also the request review function on this page, no? Have you actually used that? I check the review requests periodically and review something every now and then and so do some other people...

This one. ::)

miran: The reason I don't bitch about it is because I don't care all THAT much. ::)
Besides, reviews should be spontaneous, and not called for.

Ah. see? Couldn't tell you if that was it or not. I have a somewhat selective memory. and its quite short.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you are not the centre of the universe. Everyone is not specifically targeting you... No matter how much you think it true. (thats just arrogant, to believe everyone would go out of their way to make your life miserable.. When its easier just to ignore.)

I didn't bring it up, you did. ::)

I just don't much appreciate sarcasm like that when it's rather uncalled for.
