I have repeatedly gathered all the $$ on level one, attempted to leave by "Way out", and been stuck--and I do mean stuck. I can't toggle between the large and small maps, can't get the help screen, can't quit or save, --in short, can't move. The only way I can get out is to abort the game. Has anyone else run into this problem? How do I get to the next level? Joy Joy Metcalf :: "O wuld that God the giftie gie us att!iwtdu!joi :: to see oursel's as ithers see us " Robbie Burns

The problem is when I die, or I try to quit -- the whole game freezes, and I have to ^C my way out, which leaves my terminal settings with rather annoying values. This happened after my first game, which did a 'Segmentation Fault: core dumped' when it tried to save a high score to a nonexistant directory. I've tried to recompile and relink in case the executable got corrupted, but no luck. Does anyone know why it does this? PS -- I created the proper directory after the first incident, so that is not the problem (at least, I hope not). -- andrew huie ( andrewh@dasys1.UUCP ) | "Aren't you prepared for death?"
