Build Notes - Please Read!

YAY! we finished. Of course, there are some last minute issues that cropped up, but we are pretty happy that the game is fairly playable. Here are some things you might want to know when playing.

A. Enabling Specials.
(We didn't do a very good job of explaining them) The specials unlock when you fulfill a requirement on the list. If you continue to get that item they will continue to unlock! Use the number keys to launch a special as your next block.

B. What Specials do.
1 - Random. Chooses a random special.
2 - Nuke. Clears all blocks in your level.
3 - Bulldozer. Clears 1 block on either side.
4 - Flood. Clears all blocks in a horizontal line.
5 - Dynamite. Clears all blocks in a 1 space radius.
6 - Tornado. Clears all blocks in a vertical line.


C. The Lawn Guy
The Lawn Guy has a small bug. There is an empty space in the top right corner of this item, but if you build the other 3 spaces, the item won't register till you drop something in the empty space.

Other than that, it should work reasonably well. We couldn't get all the levels we wanted done, so levels 2 and 3 are the same for now. Have fun and tell us what you think!

Hmm.. Every time I try to use a Special the game crashes.

Exception: ERROR: GPU doesn't support Frame Buffers Objects. Can't continue

But apart from that I like it.. ;)

Aw that bites, how old is your GPU? Next time Ill try to remember to check for things like that. Thanks for trying it anyway!

man, I love the aesthetic of this game, great job!!

My GPU is a glorious NVIDIA Geforce FX Go 5650. I dunno, is that old? It has (pretty bad) Shader 2.0 support... ;)

a guy in our team has same problem (in our game) in a linux-like, found that switching to propietary drivers fixed the issue. (if I remember well)

The crashes happened on Windows (with the "latest" drivers installed). Oh well, I occasionally get weird graphics errors ever since the card had to be repaired, so I guess it's somehow related to my setup. Although I suspect it would work ok under Linux.. ;)
