Sorry about the Share*It thing not working properly. Idigicon is working on getting it sorted out.

Not sure about the shipping costs, to be honest. I'm assuming it'll be based on distance to ship, though, so it's probably going to be different for everyone. As soon as Share*It is sorted, we should know more

Thanks,

The Share*It thing is now fixed. Sorry to everyone who tried to pre-order and couldn't. It should be good to go now though

Hiya,

George at Idigicon (the publisher) posted a message on Coder's Workshop that the book will be shipping this coming week. There was some problem with formatting during print (some of the code-boxes were cutting off the code or printing only half of them...very weird stuff), so they had to tinker with the layout in order to make it print correctly.

Thus shipping should be starting this coming week. Sorry for the delay on it!

Hi Krylar,

Remember me? I was Blitzgod on the BC forum. Anyway i just tried your Migz Callo game and when it started up i got the following error:

ERROR

Unable to initalize the enviroment

Any suggestions?

Cool

Quill 3D is a good program.

Dark Mars Software:

Hmmm...weird! The only thing that comes to mind is:

--- When you unzipped the game did you make sure to unzip it into folders? There should be \graphics, \sounds, \music folders in there and then just the .exe a few .dat files and a readme.txt in the main game directory.

Do other PureBasic samples and such work okay for you? (i.e. list at the bottom of http://www.purebasic.com/download.php3)

Thanks!

The postman tried to deliver my copy this morning, but I was at work.

I'm collecting it from the Post Office in the morning.

I'll post a review on Sunday.
