Look at it! The selection pulses! Empire's never looked so
good!
And it has a retro look to it.
But why is the first option just an "A" by itself?
It pulses. It's just nearly transparent. :P
There are some rough edges; the save games fail to load, demo
isn't working, the text log
isn't cleared correctly.
BTW which version did you start from? In my version I
completely rewrote the text display as what we had was geared
towards a character-cell display, which was no good with it
using a proportional font. I think I found that some existing
saved games wouldn't load, but there's no problem loading games
that were saved with that same version.
I started with Walter's original 2.01 D release. The font I'm
using is proportional, so I've not a problem there. Your version
was also in D1, was it not? I think something subtle may have
borked. I'm sure it's fixable if I sit down and fix it, but
seeing as it's forbidden to languishing on my hard-drive, I'm not
sure I give enough fucks to do that.
But other than that you can happily play a game right through.
I
can't put the code anywhere because distribution is
prohibited, so this is my last ditch
effort to contact Walter.
The version I've contributed I emailed to Walter and he
eventually put it up on the website. Is there any reason the
same can't be done in this instance?
Up to Walter, obviously.
