But maybe it wouldn't be everyone's taste since it involves more steps: The thing is that the whole Tux animation series could be generated automatically from 2 files (less than 1 MB each), and rendered on your machine. That might save some 30 megs of *compressed* download size, but requires blender and some extra time (>1 hour) for rendering. Would you prefer such a concept? |
Not really, because rendering time exceeds the downloading time. Also, this way the rendering time would count for installation time, and I don't like installations that take more than an hour. :-)
Basically, I tried to imagine the game with half the amount of animation frames and half the amount of directions (1/4th of the bitmap data) and didn't think it would be much of a step back.

You'll have to excuse my memory. If you say so, I think you are right. I only had one chance at playing the game and thought to remember this annoyance, but am not sure now.
Great to hear that you so much appreciate my comments. Pity the crashing problem isn't something obvious, I currently have no time to look into this, maybe later I will.

We've discussed this a bit on our mailing list. So far, noone seems to be able to give real insight into the matter. However some guys suggested trying to exchange the sdl-1.2.6-i486-1 package for some other package. It might be that either the new MMX instruction support in 1.2.6 or a bad package from Slackware is the reason. Well, don't know for sure of course. But you might try...
See ya, Johannes.
