FTA:
The Web site provides a lovely binary installer that feels much
like that of a commercial game. You can compile the game from
source if you want, but would you really do that when you can
simply click Next, Next, Next?

Doesn't run here. Something to do with getting the available
resolutions:
SDL_Rect** modes = SDL_ListModes(NULL, SDL_FULLSCREEN|SDL_HWSURFACE);
must be returning nothing, because later when it tests the resolution it
wants to use against the resolutions available:
for (list<vector2i>::const_iterator it = available_resolutions.begin(); it !=
available_resolutions.end(); ++it) {
if (*it == vector2i(res_x_, res_y_)) {
ok = true;
break;
}
}
if (!ok)
throw invalid_argument("invalid resolution requested!");
I get the exception. No matter what res I specify on the command
line :(
$ dangerdeep
Caught exception: invalid resolution requested!
Anyone know about SDL?
thanks,
