Re: Random off-topic stuff

I see that Wikipedia has started rolling out what they call temporary accounts, for IP editors. By assigning a temporary username that lasts for 90 days, in the format "~yyyy-nnnnnn".

Re: princed.org (phpBB forum + webpages)

There is a bug (or feature) in the forum search that has been bugging me for a while. [...] Something else related to this forum's search, that I sometimes forget, is that only by including the hex prefix (0x) will it find prefixed hexadecimal numbers. [...] 0x1C62E.

Re: SDLPoP; David's open-source port of PoP

For fun and learning, I have started an attempt to modify the code so that it will work with SDL2. Given that the application is called SDL PoP... ;) Something to perhaps keep an eye on, is that the first stable SDL 3 was released last January. And, if I'm not mistaken, the latest stable SDL3 is no...

I found a bug when decreasing (lowering) the level count.
When decreasing, after saving the changed level count, at both F4 and the main screen, for now it's best to restart the application before editing further.

Re: Can PoP1 have more levels?

Inside the attached ZIP file are apoplexy files that can be used to improve apoplexy 3.18 to support editing more (and less) levels. To use this, start with apoplexy 3.18, and then copy all files from the attached ZIP over apoplexy 3.18. After starting apoplexy, you can edit more (and less) levels b...

Re: Can PoP1 have more levels?

I'm wondering if you know or remember what, in the u0 EXE, are the two bytes that start at 0x1C62E. I'm asking because I noticed that the standard EXE that ships with apoplexy has FF FF there, while your EXE has 00 00. Also, it would be useful if programs such as apoplexy could detect whether or not...

Re: Documentation (Prince of Persia 1 Special Events)

Why do you write "+ 2" in array declarations? It's just an old habit. A long time ago I decided to pick char[] over char*+malloc() wherever possible, for various (subjective) reasons. I subsequently ran into array overflows on a number of occasions, because: a. array index numbers start a...

Re: Apoplexy crashes when going above level 14

Hi Stephen, I see you've asked some questions related to apoplexy, of which I am the author. In August 2023, I archived ('inactive-closed') the GitHub repository of apoplexy, the same month I wrote in the "Community (Re-)Building" topic: Not much of a community left, unfortunately. I am, h...

Re: Can PoP1 have more levels?

Here is what I made back in 2011. Two questions: 1. You wrote (emphasis mine) "That's because I didn't bother to set the level type, guard colors [...]". Aren't those specified in the EXE? I also see no "color" or "colour" in morelevels.txt, and for "guard" I...

I enjoyed watching videos from the YouTube channel of Anna Cramling.
It was fun to see her mom in action too, and here and there her dad.
