Hey there. I like your Halloween game (I do think I liked the one last year a little more, however). There is one quibble that is preventing me from getting too far (now that I finally have some time to play it) in it. I find it difficult to not accidentally minimize the window by clicking when I move the cursor to the bottom of the screen. The sudden shrinking of the window has caused my demise a few times and it is a tad frustrating.
I do hope you are well, my friend. :) The only reason I posted here instead of the thread is that people are far too eager to give blacklists and they might think that I am being unduly harsh.
I'm doing alright. Work is crazy busy and we're hosting a bunch of my wife's family for Thanksgiving (going to have 20 people here), so my schedule is nuts, but it's almost all good stuff. :)
I'm trying to figure out how you're minimizing the game. I have it set so that you can resize the window (since I didn't have time to implement specific graphic options, which are a lot more work than people realize), but I'm not sure how that would cause the entire window to minimize. The only way you should be able to trigger that is the actual window control at the upper right.
Maybe I'm getting confused on terminology here? Can you explain a little more about what's happening specifically?
What I meant is that sometimes it gets hectic on the screen, and when I move the mouse to the bottom of the screen and click it, it will suddenly be "outside" of the window. Not sure why it does that. It basically goes to where the taskbar at the bottom is. I hope that explains it better?
Glad to hear that you are doing well (or at least, okay. ;) ). Sounds like it will be a HUGE get-together. Have an extra helping of pumpkin pie for me, will you? ;)
Ah, I understand now. Yeah, if you click outside of the window, you're going to activate whatever's behind it. You can always have all other windows minimized, which will alleviate some of the pain. Or, just hit alt-Enter and the game will run full screen...then you won't have any issues at all. :)
We'll definitely be making homemade pumpkin pie. I also now make this pumpkin/chocolate mousse pie (sounds kinda crazy, but it's fantastic) of which my brother has become a big fan. And I don't want to get too cocky here, but I will just go ahead and brag that my mashed potatoes are off the freakin' chain. I'm, uh, pretty picky about the mashed potatoes. :D
Thank you!

As an aside, how are you doing? :)
