Hi Everyone, I just wanted to let you know that Crashblock is available for download and testing from www.crashblock.com/test
Currently, there is only the Windows version available for download, I'll update this thread when the Mac and Linux versions are uploaded. Much work was done on these this weekend.
Please, download the game and give it a blast. Any issues you find should be logged on http://forum.crashblock.com in the beta testing Thread.
I'd like as much feedback as possible.
It seems you have not handled the different language settings for floating point values. The game crashes at startup (although I don't think thats because it is named "CRASH"block)
After clicking ok an error message appears which says:
Exception EConvertError in module bla bla bla.... "0.000000" is not a valid floating point value.
I have a german Windows XP here and I guess my system handles floating point values in inifiles or registry like 0,00000 and not 0.00000

Crashes here as well. Danish Vista. I just heard some sound and then it crashed.

Hmmm... This is interesting, I'll look into this as soon as I can tonight.
Technomage might be able to shed a little light on this.
You need to manually set the DecimalSeperator to '.' (and the ShortDateTimeFormat to 'dd/mm/yyyy') as the first thing you do in your app.
There are a few other locale settings you need to set, but those are the main ones. (Better get that done quick and upload it to IGF)
pstudio :
No testing has been done on Vista yet, so if there is any additional info you can provide if would help

I have confirmation from someone running Vista on a 64bit machine that it runs without issue.. although, more Vista testing is more than welcome.. as there appear to be many aspects of Vista security and privileges.
Running the game again I can say that I get the exact same error as Huehnerschaender.
We also use comma (,) instead of period (.) when seperating decimals. Crashblock is not the first game to not work because of this issue.

Can you try this version?
It sets the locale settings to UK to match the internal formats used in the files..

It works fine with no problems at all now.
I probably have missed it, but is there a way to quickly drop the blocks?
Btw. when you've completed a level and Jenny is dancing there are two annoying white stripes.

To quickly drop blocks, press Backspace (or whatever you define the key as) this will drop it immediately.
This is the second question about this today, I'm going to modify the help screens to make it a bit more obvious.
The two annoying white lines.. I think I know what you mean.. it's a small issue which I will fix for the next beta. For the time being though, I'm going to focus on program issues as they're a lot easier to download
Please let me know how you get on.
