Great fun.

Is that a Sid playing at the beginning?

Thanks,

the music at the beginning is a normal mod file (chip-style, so it sounds like sid).

How big are the chance to get the source?

Because: Your code has also the nice: Half of the textures are transparent, other half not.

The North-Pole-"Sign" has no transparent, also the man on the start has no transparent background.

So when you can give me the source, i can test why.

I do some test with 3d-Sprites and transparent background (with the author of racingtest; he told me, what he did; the source of racetest are lost...) and i found not realy a reason why it doesn't work always. I think the problem is settransparentspritecolor (or how the command is called). But i need a code with the "error"...

Yes i checked it, Verdana is on my computer installed. must be another problem.

Some details: im using a 1024*768*16 Screen Resolution, and i have a Geforce 4 Ti 4200 Graphics Card

Do you use loadadditionalfont() in your program for the font ?

@Dr.Zoidberg + GPI:

This game is acutally for the PureContest-XMas-Competition by Rob [he already has it including the source].
I asked him, if it is ok with the rules if I release it 2 weeks earlier than the deadline (otherwise it wouldnt make sense to release a xmas-game some days after xmas).
So, the source can be downloaded from the 24th of December from the pure-contest webpage.
If you want to go bug-hunting earlier, just drop an email to :

benny[at]weltenkonstrukteur[dot]de

and I will of course send the source plus binaries to you !!!

@Dr.Zoidberg:
I use Danilo's CoolFont-Example for loading the Font!
By the way ... can you see the Instructions at the title-screen
