Viridian Games

The professional blog of Anthony Salter, game programmer.

Well, Poop.

I had the beta ready to go (though it’s not as complete as I wanted it), but when I put together the package some release-only bugs popped up – and I mean “only happens in release mode when you’re not running in the debugger” bugs. So I will be delaying the release of the Planitia beta until Monday night. Sorry about that.

    I know the feeling.. Fun to hunt bugs.

    Most likely uninitialized variables, those, if you’re lucky. If you’re unlucky, you’re using pointers to data which might not be there anymore. I once spent six months hunting one of those.
