Escape From The Maze

A party-based, first-person, fantasy CRPG with phased combat, class-based character progression, and programmer-art. I called it "old school" until the term got trendy. It started inspired by Wizardry VII and the lack of a free open source alternative. Today we are living in the indie revolution and there are far more influences, but the game still clearly shows its Wizardry lineage. It's playable end to end, but there is a lot more to do before it's done. This blog tracks that work.

Yet another Linux showstopper

Good thing I fired up that linux test VM, because the music playback crashes the JVM. At least, it does on OpenJDK on Ubuntu.

Unable to open the sourceDataLine: javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException: unable to prepare stream

java: /build/buildd/openjdk-6-6b23~pre11/build/../pulseaudio/src/native/org_classpath_icedtea_pulseaudio_Stream.c:726: Java_org_classpath_icedtea_pulseaudio_Stream_native_1pa_1stream_1cork: Assertion `operation' failed.

Bam, game over.

The internet suggests that the bug is between OpenJDK and Pulse Audio. But we will see. Goddam leaky abstractions.
