Sorry guys for the delay with listing the final entries. I have problem running Zamaster's The Secret Garden, and I'm still not sure how to go about it. Is it playable for you? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rqyCeBhQj2z7daW64eKGSQlhtGlAc_YA/view?usp=sharing After I choose N to "Fullscreen (r...

Well, the solution is certainly workable. Thanks a lot, much appreciated =D

I'm preparing something at a hectic pace (begun to prepare something for the compo about 3 weeks ago), but I think an extension would be nice (better/more polished games can be presented overall). About a week is enough for me, don't know about others. Thanks for considering it for those of us arriv...

Nice! =D

The theme won't change/be removed. It's well elaborated why that theme, and besides that, it's definitely not an option in this late stage of the competition to just get rid of the reason why it was organized in the first place. Yes, I understand. Fair enough, then. I'll see if I can elaborate some...

Lol, another donor, another prize increase. The prize pool is 2400 USD now, first prize being 1000 USD. Wow, that's great! Any chance that the 'theme' would be removed? Since this is the 'ultimate' (so far ;D) FB Game Dev competition, it would be very interesting to make it a 'no holds barred' comp...

It DOES matter, since who called OOP 'modern' was Boris, not me. That was precisely my point, if you bother to read the post.

Do you realize that I was talking about Object-Oriented Programming, right?

COBOL is a very powerful language ... :chokes on his coffee: ...that has all the modern [sic] stuff, such as OOP... Well, if you consider something that's been around for almost 40 years modern , perhaps. Then again, OOP does make things like COBOL look modern, indeed. ..., and features that don't ...

That means that you're either compiling a 32-bit executable and you have the 64-bit version of SDL2, or the other way around. Check the bitness of the library (and the compiled output) to make sure they match.
