you may want to try and see if it is really the
SDL_GetTicks command that is messed up. If it is working properly, it should return
the number of milliseconds since SDL got initialized...
try sprinkling some:
printf("current time is %dms\n", SDL_GetTicks());
and see if it goes up or if it is always 0 or another constant...
Maybe Uint32 isn't being set to a 32 bit unsigned integer, thus problems are happening
.... (Uint was mistyped as a CHAR, this would be a HUGE problem, as it would roll
over every 255 ms!)
maybe try printf("Size of Uint32 = %d\n", sizeof(Uint32));

Subject: Re: [Tuxtype-dev] running on NetBSD just hangs
Thanks to J. Andrews' suggestions, I am beginning to track this down some
more. It was hanging before the "Tux and Title are in place now" message.
I added in some debugging and saw it was hanging at any SDL_Delay() call.
(This corresponds with my earlier ktrace showing the repeated
gettimeofday.)
So I commented them all out in titlescreen.c. The sound worked, but the
interface locked up when I started playing the comet zap section.
So then I made a macro in globals.h to ignore SDL_Delay:
#define SDL_Delay( n ) ;
Then I could play a game! It was fun (but may be hard for my son since
letters overlap and he probably can't guess what it should be).
But with the SDL_Delay removed, then the sound stopped working.
The strange thing is that SDL_Delay works fine in tuxmath and defendguin.
Something to initialize it or use it is done wrong.
This packaged tuxtype2 is using some dependencies (from NetBSD packages):
SDL-1.2.5nb4
SDL_image-1.2.2nb1
SDL_mixer-1.2.5
SDL_ttf-2.0.3nb2
pth-2.0.0
(and several others)
I am building SDL test tools now to test SDL_Delay.
Thank you, Jesse, for your assistance.
