Actually, when I called the 1800 (Canada) number, I detected a strong accent and a generally different manner of speaking English. Also a lot of white noise on the line. (I'm terrible at understanding accents which differ from my own!) I asked and indeed the agent was in Australia. But as you...

Hah. I didn't see a phone number listed for the US. But I saw a 1800 for Canada and called it (from Texas). I'm pretty sure it was toll free. I emailed Jacquelyn and received a response very quickly despite it being very late at night in UK. Next step: create an account (someone to receive the...

Lotta heat... not much fire. :-) So an idea. I heard similar things mentioned and dismissed once before. But the situation's different, now. Problem: lots of Americans (and others without cheap & easy bank transfers) want to pay for the Pandora. Credit cards just aren't going to work right...

Well spoken. Thank you too, for relating that back to the credit card companies: of course they don't want to be on the hook for this. That certainly seems a likely explanation for these bizarro games they're playing with us. MS & Apple are all about consumer protection. "Trusted computing"...

Thanks! Positive feedback is always fun! Were you able, by any chance, to use a controller for it rather than the keyboard?

Hey Poke, I've uploaded a plain 7z archive. Part of what I fixed was capitalization of some filenames, etc. If this doesn't work for you, I'll run the diff's tonight and pick out the files. --Todd

Traitboy, Thanks for taking my criticisms in the spirit intended: I didn't realize until you replied that I carped on your game a couple different ways -- and I haven't even gotten to run it lately! Yeah, accounting for dependencies that might not be installed on other systems/architectures can...

Oh yeah... I knew I forgot something! Include "SimpleJoy.h", right? It looked like you'd already changed PanicAttack to use that. So Penjin detects my controller, but it doesn't seem to respond to any of the controls: CODE Penjin says: No command line args provided. 1 joysticks found Gravis...

Poke, Thanks for the update! There were still some capitalization mismatches with the PunchWrestler game so that the project wouldn't build for me. I changed all the capitalization of the trabitboy files and their related #includes. You can get that from my copy of the framework. I noticed a...

Have you tried typing with it yet?

Xoom looks like a decent deal from the US, even if I think an artificially low exchange rate is a somewhat deceptive way to make a few bucks. Better to charge $5 + x%. .6404 vs. .6621: xoom is charging about a 2.2% commission on top of the $5 fee (if you take the cash from your checking...

Actually, the way I implemented levels, you do get subsequent levels using the selection box. It's great! :-) Levels only get reset when the root menu shows. So as long as you stay in the selection box menu, each game should be able to increment its level on each run. I'm not sure I understand...

Ack. I was afraid that was going to happen. I don't yet understand how to isolate namespaces in C++. The StatePanicAttackButtonEvents class began as the generic ButtonEvent class but was written to replace it (for this one game). It might be a good candidate for subclassing if I understood C++...

Ooops. Sorry 'bout that! I was surprised as well. "It ran fine on my box!" :P Since you have admitted to actually playing the game, is it pretty reasonable for difficulty now? I didn't originally have any plans to add levels to it. And I'm not entirely sure what would be a good way to do...

Awesome! Thanks! I'll PM you.

Hellollo (Como esta? It's from a place called Vertigo...) Fun video. Thanks, ED. It's exciting to see things coming together. --Todd

JavaJake, Here's a shameless plug for Pandora Panic. I'm a Java developer by day. Historically a C programmer. "Always" wanted to learn C++. Pandora Panic is based on SDL and another, very simple, framework on top ("Penjin"). The project is coordinated by the author/maintainer of Penjin. It's...

Hmmm... in case someone happened to grab PanicAttack in the last couple hours (since my last post), please know that I have uploaded a slightly modified version to the same URL. The changes were minor. If you're interested in this game and you want to see what play looks like at higher...

Presenting... PanicAttack! A few of notes. 1. It's UGLY. Help me, please! I need:a new button spritesheet a new level preview background (with play instructions beginning with "Don't Panic!" in big, friendly letters) a new gameplay background maybe some background music? Will the sound effects...
