A long time ago a friend compiled it under OS X. What problem did you
encounter?

Try adding the "struct" word before the "flock" work.

Still problems in hi-scores
by Mind Booster Noori - Mar 8th 2004 20:00:37
Hi there,
I've just sen your last release and I've really liked it...
The problem is that hi-scores file is -still- in plain text, which makes
hi-scores file preety useless... :-(
Can you please save hi-scores in some binary or encrypted or whatever
mode?
Thanks

Re: Still problems in hi-scores

I think you are using the precompiled binary, are you?
The problem with this binary is that it saves the high scores file in the
user home directory (ie each user has full access to its own high scores
file).
You can solve this problem by installing from sources. Before building the
program, you should edit the Makefile (look for installprefix,
HIGH_SCORES_FILE and EXE_GROUP variables). Mail me if you need help.
Or you can install Debian and use the .deb file. :-)

Hi-Score
by Mind Booster Noori - Jan 21st 2004 10:56:36
Hi there...
I see that you have now support to hi-scores, but could you...
1) Save the hi-scores file as data and not as ASCII? (so noone can edit
the file?)
2) Let winners add their name with the score?
Thanks!

Re: Hi-Score

Hi!
1) No way.
Using a scrambled file format (instead of ASCII) is just security by
obscurity: complicated and uneffective.
To prevent the file from being edited by anyone, you have to set the
correct access permission to the game and the high scores file; for
instance:
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root games 170052 jan 19 15:46
/usr/games/xgalaga++
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root games 50 jan 21 03:51
/var/games/xgalaga++.scores
Of course you have to trust the person who has rw access (in this case
root, but it could be another user).
You always has to trust someone.:-)
2) Note that the name should already be added to the score (copied from
/etc/passwd). Is it working? Or do you want to save a pseudo ?
To begin, I think I'll add a command line option for this (easier to
code). Then, when time permits, I'll add an interactive high score screen.

Awsome
by Mind Booster Noori - Dec 12th 2003 18:36:51
Hi there...
I'm a xgalaga addict, and I tested xgalaga++... Wow, awsome!
I really liked the game, much better then xgalaga... Problem is that I
play xgalaga with friends and we share scores, compete with ourselves...
And xgalaga++ doesn't have scores :-(
So PLEASE can you add hi-scores to the next release?
Thanks there and keep the good work,
Mind Booster Noori
