Heresy! I cannot look at the patch, they have compiled it!

milo 02/04/2014 - 10:48

tonfilm 02/04/2014 - 12:38

Nice.

¿FYI?

tried to run it on OSX 10.9.2 / MonoFramework-MRE-3.4.0.

running

mono 1_Pong.exe

just shows the Beachball.

running

mono --aot 1_Pong.exe

returns the following error:

@milo, eno could it be that you tested it on 32-bit systems?

tonfilm 02/04/2014 - 13:24

@bjorn its a simple DirectX 2D renderer, which is very unlikely to work on OSX. but as gregsn explained in his answer to the blog post, the library is not an issue yet.

milo 02/04/2014 - 13:29

@tonfilm. nope its 64Bit

Gareth.Griffiths 02/04/2014 - 13:39

Quad Frogger is the new Flappy Bird D=

tonfilm 02/04/2014 - 14:22

@milo, sorry no more obvious ideas... you could test whether basic directx 2d examples from the net work on your machine.

dagi 02/04/2014 - 17:06

doesn't work on my windows 7 64Bit, same problem what had eno

aivenhoe 02/04/2014 - 23:23

i really love worms :)

everyoneishappy 03/04/2014 - 06:36

windows 8 64Bit same behavior like Eno.

Great to have an update though- exciting things to come :)

beyon 03/04/2014 - 14:31

No problems on Windows 8 64-bit here other than cumbersome key choices and difficulty...

alg 07/04/2014 - 10:38

Checked on Win 8.1 x64 - everything working fine.

dottore 07/04/2014 - 11:07

not working on win 7 64 bit.
it gives error on openig:

dottore 07/04/2014 - 11:12

working on win 8.1

tekcor 07/04/2014 - 12:51

I also run it with 7 64 bit and it works

h99 07/04/2014 - 13:11

hey, could it be a .NET issue?

joreg 07/04/2014 - 23:41

@milo, eno, dottore, re win7: i also encountered the "System.Environment.get_CurrentManagedThreadId()" error recently. while under different circumstances, installing .net4.5 on that machine resolved the issue.
