Entry: Star Swirl's Parser-Based Pony Adventure

<< < (2/2)

Cantorlot:
Hi,

Needless to say this is at the top of the list of games I was looking forward to play. It was also the first one I tried (not merely because it was also the first submitted!) Except I haven't managed to run it yet.

If it is easy, would it be possible to get a build that works with earlier versions of .Net (I think even 3.5 instead of 4.0 would help but the earlier the better)?

I tried running it in Wine (I even tried the most recent version of Wine 1.5 built from source) with Mono for Windows and am posting the error message here. But quite frankly, there are so many pieces that could have gone wrong that I wouldn't try to debug it this way. The launcher window does appear but Wine exits with the following error when I click on "Play the game".


--- Code: ---implement type compare for 1b!

abnormal program termination
err:mscoree:expect_no_runtimes Process exited with a Mono runtime loaded.
--- End code ---

In the worst case, I can try something much more drastic to get this to run but that'll have to wait until I have more time.

Also, thank you for posting that in-depth comment on my game. Its really appreciated (and spot on)!

Oracion:
Hi, thank you.

Unfortunately, you won't get the game to run under Linux because it uses XNA. It could probably be ported to ANX or monogame, but that would require a code rewrite which I won't have time to do for at least a week.
It's a shame, I know, as it's basically a text-only game, but I learned about the contest only after it already started and this (XNA) was the thing I was most familiar with.

Cantorlot:
Alright, thanks. Its too bad, but definitely not worth rewriting any code. I'll come back to this one later when I find a Windows machine I can use.
