Mhh, well then perhaps an option to have the background as a solid color would be helpful (the original space invaders had a black background if I remember correctly), I'll take a look at the code and see if I can add this myself. >> > > Also, there might be problems if the application you use for setting > wallpapers > just overlays the root window with another one, because if you start Invaders > on top of other windows, your screen background will show through around the > sprites.

I use a custom made application to set my wallpaper, and I do not overlay a window, I simply load a pixmap, set it as the back_pixmap of the root window, and set the _XROOTMAP_ID property. This works well with everyting (including awesome) but for some reason not for space invaders? On the other hand, I can confirm I am only setting my wallpaper ONCE (I only use pink wallpapers on my laptop ;) ), and the background of the sprites DOES look like garbage to me, or perhaps the XOR of some value with my wallpaper. > > On the keys-don't-work thingie, did you start invaders with the lua prompt?
