Hm, I think I got the bugs flushed out now. I have gone through the whole code ( ;_; ) and it works dandy for me. All files needed is included and everything. There should be no problems for any of you to run it. If there is still problems then let me know ASAP and I'll go at it one more time. I feel humiliated by myself *sniff*.

Sorry, it's still crashing :(

Maybe you could post the source and one of us could take a look at it? I know what it's like when you've looking over code you've written yourself - it can be easy to miss some obvious mistakes because you're expecting to see something that isn't there when you glance over it. I spent a few hours on Saturday hunting down a bug caused by this:

Lol, I must have done something very stupid. Dont understand why it compiles perfect with no errors at all :/.

Anyway, this is pretty much the same lame thing but this do work.

I recompiled with the same code used in the tileengine test. And I used FBIde instead of FBEdit. This should work (how many times have I said that now?)

I have seriously no idea what's going on. That should have worked perfectly fine. Enough of this already, how is it going for you guys?

I'm dropping out. I haven't got far enough with my project to release anything worthwhile, sorry :(

However, I'm making the usual contest promise to continue working on it afterwards! Only, I like, mean it. This time.

So, it seems like I did manage to find a couple of more hours to spend on Kassandra :-)

Here's my contribution to the contest, complete with battles (and a troll!):

Here's my entry, "The Trials of Soscarides".

I need to go to bed now. Mac only for now I'm afraid, I'll get to other platforms... erm... after I've slept for a while.

Sadly, it's not not quite done. Code is all there, as is nearly all the content, but I didn't have time to plug it all into the engine tonight. Oh well, I'm still pretty pleased. You can sail around, recruit some characters, and fight two battles.

Here's the mac version:

Here are a couple screenshots for those without macs:

BMB:

I managed to get your demo running; albeit a very unconventional way.

First, I downloaded this strace NT

Then I downloaded your most recent contest.zip

I extraced your demo files
I extracted stracent to your demo folder;
I ran stracentx.exe then chose Trace-> Launch new process
I selected contest.exe and then waited about 30 seconds then stopped the trace; and poof. your demo ran fine.
I haven't determined what causes the crash yet;
but its time bed; so I can't do anything now.
Oh. Happy thanksgiving everyone!

I did some technical hacking for ya, and got some info that may help you locate the cause of your crash:

error allocating memory to hold BMP in image_load_BMP

OK, NOW I'm heading to bed.
goodnight happy thanksgiving. have fun. goodluck.

Oh, and here's the source code for the new version:

http://www.colossusentertainment.com/forumref/kassandra_source_1_2.zip

(btw, it's public domain, so if you can use anything from it, feel free (there's a STSound component included which is GPLd, but the rest is PD))

sorry to hear you're dropping out Terry... any chance you could share what you have with us even if it's not done?

Hey Scrim, that looks great, can't wait for a Windows version :D

And btw, here's a screenshot of me battle system:
