Has anyone managed to get omega working under BSD? I've solved all the
compiler problems (I think) but it core-dumps mysteriously.

Thus, I didn't have a omega.motd and it core dumped. By the way, anyone else notice that the screen refreshes too many times? It also refreshes the entire screen after each move. ...tai

Can anyone tell me what the current status of the Omega game is?
We've got a version that core dumps at the least provocation. So far, I
havn't seen any patches or news of an updated version.
Any help you can give is most welcome since this game looks interesting but
just isn't worth trying to play at the moment.
Thanks

Its currently at version 0.70.9 store at paul.rutgers.edu [128.6.4.14 and 128.6.5.60] (also at ringo.rutgers.edu). I don't believe there are any current plans for a comp.sources.games release since Lawrence has indicated that this version is still buggy. For more information, contact brothers@paul.rutgers.edu As for the PC version at brokaw.lcs.mit.edu, I saw some sources for it there which are probably ported from the 0.70.8 version, but the exec files seem to be from an eariler version (0.70.6 or 0.70.7). hope this helps. -- Bob Kusumoto | Follow me!
