[comp.sources.games.bugs] xtank *almost* working

quasar@krazykat.ctt.bellcore.com (Laurence R. Brothers) (12/18/89)

I'm on a sun-4/260 running open windows 1.0, and I have the latest
xtank version from expo.

Compiling with -O on the cc flags, xtank died on attempting to enter
the default standard game, no matter which thread option I used.

Using the sunlwp option, compiling with -g and with DEBUG defined, I
successfully entered the standard game only to find, to my horror, no
keyboard events being accepted. Instead, keyboard focus was given to
the shell that I originally invoked xtank from, despite the fact I
don't use click-to-type and the cursor was in the xtank application.
This makes the game completely unplayable, of course.

Any suggestions? 

Any other suggestions besides not using the xnews server?

Thanks,
