Cells Redux Image loading bug

I have found that on a number of windows computers, Cells Redux fails to load images. Further investigation reveals that this is not true. The SFML image gives the correct height and width of images, openGL appears to create the textures without any problem. I honestly don't know why its not displaying anything.

I plan to rebuild the Windows version using static linking and a newer version of gcc in the near future. Maybe that will fix it. I sure hope so.

Cells Redux Complete

Available here for windows and linux.

Cells Redux Progress

Almost there... mouse interaction is going to be rather ugly, but then again this whole thing is pretty ugly. As to the tutorial... I don't even know. Maybe it would be better to just have a readme...

• Mouse interaction
• Better tutorial
• Add resume menu option
• Improve key repeat speed issue
• Add a high score table
• Make checking give some indication of what or how much is wrong. As it stands, failing on a fully locked board basically means starting over. Maybe have options.
• Come up with a more elegant solution than the reset button. 
• Add bitmap fonts
• Get rid of that console, add a title to the window, make an icon for the game
• Gameplay options: Color/Grayscale, Numbers/Colors/Both,
• Autodetect locked board and shuffle? (Removed)
• Sudden Death Mode (this may well be a luck thing and a bad idea) (Removed)
• Legend on/off (Removed)

Plans for the Future

Summer's coming up, and that means full time development on Limit Quest. Before that, though, I'm gonna want a week  or so to cool off from this past semester. I might also take that time to start thinking about game programming again with a remake of Cells using everything I've learned about game making. My goals are to make it look more polished, improve some really annoying things in the interface (for example: it's possible to resume the game from the main menu, but not obvious; I just had to guess and hope I was right.), and maybe make a nicer tutorial. I can apply new programming techniques to make the game much more compact and elegant.

Mainly for my own benefit before I forget, here's a list of some things to do:

• Add resume menu option
• Improve key repeat speed issue
• Mouse interaction
• Add a high score table
• Make checking give some indication of what or how much is wrong. As it stands, failing on a fully locked board basically means starting over. Maybe have options.
• Come up with a more elegant solution than the reset button. Autodetect locked board and shuffle? Sudden Death Mode (this may well be a luck thing and a bad idea)
• Add bitmap fonts
• Better tutorial
• Get rid of that console, add a title to the window, make an icon for the game
• Gameplay options: Color/Grayscale, Numbers/Colors/Both, Legend on/off
