Re: [pygame] Re: Tendrils
I pulled out my previous, half-dead hard drive, and found Tendrils there. (If the current archive isn't working for people, I can make a ZIP from that copy and give it to someone with hosting space for it.) The old copy contains the same "crack.nfo" file, though. Odd.
Re: [pygame] Re: Tendrils
I suppose somebody could have "cracked" the windows installer, thinking they were stealing something, but from the original (and now expired) site, it looks like the author distributed source for linux/mac, so it seems odd to have that crack file in there. You can see the original site for the game in the wayback machine in the internet archive here: http://web.archive.org/web/20060427132201/http://members.cox.net/swt2/Tendrils/ I suppose talking to the author could help understand what is going on. It looks like at one point [EMAIL PROTECTED] was an email contact about the game, and the "main programmer" submitted a game "microbattle" to the 4th Ludum Dare 48 Hour game competition under the name "dumple" here's an archive link for the expired microbattle page: http://web.archive.org/web/20050124094142/members.cox.net/swt2/Microbattle/ On 6/26/07, Jason Massey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Probably cracked by an eleven year old. :) I remember doing something similar at that age with tetris on my Commodore 64. No need to crack, you could just copy the thing, but hex editing the binaries and putting my handle in there was oh so satisfying.

That's weird. I have a copy of Tendrils which, as far as
I remember, I got by following the link from the PyGame
website (now dead) -- and it contains this file too.
It doesn't seem to make any sense -- what need is there
to crack an open-source game?
Maybe it's an easter egg put there by the author?
Anyway, if anyone wants the version I've got, let me
know (it's called "Tendrils.20040818.zip", sized
48MB). I can also supply a version that's been turned
into a MacOSX .app if wanted.

Well... that's good to know. Tell me if you find anything...
