Hi Thomas,
I think I've fixed that intermittent bug.
I originally had you in a fully enclosed room and I spun you around several
times while playing an mp3 file of you spinning with binaural microphones.
It was an interesting experiment but was not easy to code and took several
lines in a loop.
I had to disable the moving keys and enable them again.
I scrapped the whole function and replaced it with a recording of the same
effect.
Another bug in going to the headmaster's office was that I took a 100 by 100
level and blocked off a 10 by 10 room for the office.
Then I had a random function that placed the ghosts, skipping the outer
unused space.
The function checked 2,000 times for a match to the room and if it failed
all 2,000 times it would crash.
I removed the random function and placed the creatures at the same
coordinates.
As they move at random when you are not detected, the extra random function
was not necessary.

Hi Phil,
Speaking of the Sarah update did you ever fix the problem with the
spinning staircase up to the head master's office?
I know you said you were thinking of using an mp3 or something like
that instead of the way you were doing it in prior versions of Sarah
because it caused the game to crash when trying to go to the head
master's office. At least on my machine Sarah would sometimes crash
when trying to enter the head master's office.

Hi William,
There is a page on the Sarah game on my web site,
http://www.pcsgames.net/sarah.htm
The object of the current game is to find a way out of the castle, and
then
play a sort of quit itch game trying to catch the snitch with two beaters
after you.
You explore the seven floors of the castle plus the underground levels.
You try to avoid the caretaker and the ghosts that try to stop you.
You can collect potion ingredients to brew a polyjuice potion.
I have been working on an update for the past three years that will add
more
challenges, potions, spells and objects to fine, and places to go.
The game originally was designed for Windows XP and I am working on an
installer that will make it easier to install the game for Windows 7.
If you decide to purchase the game, the update will be free to registered
game players.
