Judges' Comments:
To build:
make thadgavin
To run:
./thadgavin
This entry is a nice play by the rules. It can use curses, if the
SDL graphic library is not present, and is quite good at that,
but the colors used in graphic mode (16 bit depth) are unfortunately
less than dazzling. We could not test this entry in DOS mode.
Selected Author's Comments:
To run under DOS:
Compile using DJGPP as follows:
gcc thadgavin.c -o thadgavin.exe -Wall -lm -O6 -mpentium -fomit-frame-pointer
-ffast-math
To run under Windows, X-Windows or MacOS using the
Simple DirectMedia Layer:
For example:
gcc -O6 -lpthread -g -o thadgavin thadgavin.c -lSDL -DSDL -lm
In gcc you may get the following warning:
prog.c:46: warning: passing arg 2 of `SDL_SetColors' from incompatible
pointer type
In Microsoft Visual Studio you may get warnings as follows:
prog.c(46) : warning C4133: 'function' : incompatible types - from 'unsigned
char *' to 'struct SDL_Color *'
prog.c(63) : warning C4026: function declared with formal parameter list
prog.c(77) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'double ' to 'unsigned
char ', possible loss of data
But don't worry, this is completely normal.
