While I was doing the compo (and before), my computer was suffering from a disease I like to call “imabigstupidjerkofacomputerandimgoingtofreezeeveryfifteenminutes”.  It made coding extra fun, but by the grace of Billy Idol, I managed to submit something.

I noticed the comments and stuff on my entry about it basically being a piece of junk, so I went back and (hopefully) fixed those bugs.  Yet my computer was apparently just being a saucy taunt-face, because pretty much right after I’d packaged and tested the bugfix release, the thing froze before I could upload it anywhere.  It now freezes about one minute after it starts, thereby disallowing my every effort to get the update posted.

In all fairness, the computer’s about six years old, which I think is a pretty impressive lifespan for a laptop which I’ve worked pretty hard every day I’ve owned it.  I guess Ludum Dare must have been the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Anyway, in summary, I won’t be able to get the new, fixed, maybe-working-for-Windows version up before the voting closes.  If you can’t get it working on your system, feel free to judge it on the last-minute drunken stupor of a README and the sexy graphics in the gfx directory.

Also, I’m not going to be able to really rate anyone else’s because I only have access to computers which are not mine to install dodgy games on (no offence).

Peace out, and good luck to everyone whose computer isn’t a steaming pile of wreckage!
