Don't :E at me :frown:

I just spent 2 hours making a level in surgeon, pressed close instead of back and lost the lot :(

Why is there no "File is modified" dialogue? :frown:

I'll try to sort out a compatibility table next week; the current list is a bit confusing :(
All the older versions of Asylum and nobrainer worked fine on select too. (Well, Asylum had the same background rendering bug in the old versions, before :flamethrower: fixed it.)

Also, nothing works on 5.01 but I will try them all under Aemulor when it is released.

Serves you right for trusting one of my programs to run for two hours straight :P

I'll try and make a new release next weekend - the exams will have been over by then :)

That's all great, thanks :) I'll get the table up this week.

I'll have 5 codes:

Does work
Doesn't work
Should work
Shouldn't work
No idea :o

V0.08 of Surgeon has now been uploaded, and to help moss out I've updated the Surgeon download/manual/site updates pages accordingly :)

The update isn't too spectacular though; just it warning you when you try and close an edited level, any improvements that have worked their way in through my WIMP library, and it now handles missing style files gracefully instead of throwing an error and quitting :P

I could have easily done some more to it, but I felt that my time was better spent working on my WIMP Befunge interpreter/editor :P

Brilliant! Thanks :flamethrower:, especially for updating the online manual too.

It was the warning about closing an unsaved level that I was worried about re: the competition; now that's fixed, I'll try and draw up some rules regarding it. I'll email you when I've sorted something out :)

Oh dear!

Luckily none of those are my fault :P

/me tries validating egnufeb...

Tsk. Almost validated; a couple of pages I wrote ages ago using Netscape Composer don't work, and there's another one where I put lots of links around header tags :(

Nope, not yet - I should be working ATM but I'll give them a shot.

I'll fix that tomorrow, too. Ah, the joys of being crap :(

Thanks for your testing; I'll update the compatibility page tomorrow as well.

Don't worry, we're all crap at something in The Cesspit. Earlier on today I was wondering why my new egnufeb email wasn't working, only to realise that I hadn't updated the aliases file to point to the mailbox on neo and it was going to my hotmail account instead :monkey:

Oddball does not work.

GameSuite examples:
BallBnc does not work.
Blitzer does not work.
ScrlText does nothing to ages then draws 3 bitmap letters to the screen and then crashes.
SpeedTest works! The times for it were:

FastSprite time 48 microseconds
OS Sprite without mask 97 microsecons
OS Sprite with mask 322 microseconds

SpeedTest works!
And there was me about to suggest that the problem was with FastSpr :)

Hmm, I think all the other programs make use of Amnesia - the problem will probably be with that.
