	mono problem on ubuntu gutsy posted by sparr @ 74.241.143.251 on Dec 20 2007 5:15 AM
I have mono working for other projects, and libgdiplus installed, but this game says it cant find System.Drawing: * Using mono: Mono JIT compiler version 1.2.4 (tarball) * Checking .config files... * Validating Tao.DevIl.dll.config * Validating Tao.FreeGlut.dll.config * Validating Tao.FreeType.dll.config * Validating Tao.OpenGl.dll.config * Validating Tao.PhysFs.dll.config * Validating Tao.Sdl.dll.config * Welcome to CuteGod! ** (CuteGod.exe:9105): WARNING **: The following assembly referenced from /home/sparr/download/cutegod-0.3.0-binary/CuteGod.exe could not be loaded: Assembly: System.Drawing (assemblyref_index=6) Version: 2.0.0.0 Public Key: b03f5f7f11d50a3a The assembly was not found in the Global Assembly Cache, a path listed in the MONO_PATH environment variable, or in the location of the executing assembly (/home/sparr/download/cutegod-0.3.0-binary/).

Re: mono problem on ubuntu gutsy posted by dmoonfire @ 99.135.171.208 on Dec 20 2007 11:06 PM   Hrm, I think the next step for my script is to check more than what I'm doing and also put in a bit more validation on it. Not to mention suggested install packages. Or... I could just package it like I'm planning on doing. But, for Ubuntu, you'll probably need to `apt-get install libmono-system2.0-cil libmono-winforms2.0-cil` or something to that effect. This uses 2.0 library and I have a bit of validation code that requires winforms.   [Reply]

Nothing to do with this particular implementation, but the actual game idea just isn't any good. It's not fun at all. I know the Lost Garden guy (who came up with the concept + graphics for this) is into his game design, but perhaps he's getting bit by the architect effect here - designing games that game designers will appreciate but joe public just won't enjoy. Just like architects create buildings that they drool over with each other but look butt ugly, this game is slow, boring, and - for what it is - clumsy to play.

There was an error: Unable to load DLL 'freeglut.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) looks like not all the dependancies are packaged.

	why mono? posted by Anonymous @ 81.168.143.35 on Dec 15 2007 9:38 AM
Can anyone tell me why to use .net/mono on gnu/linux?

Re: why mono? posted by Anonymous @ 78.151.98.134 on Dec 15 2007 10:36 AM   Can anyone tell me why not?   [Reply]   Re: why mono? posted by Anonymous @ 81.168.143.35 on Dec 15 2007 12:00 PM   Ahh, I see. Good reason. Next time try ook.   [Reply]   Re: why mono? posted by Anonymous @ 91.84.145.185 on Dec 19 2007 3:13 PM   Any particular reason you feel the developer needs to justify his choice of language to you?   [Reply]   Re: why mono? posted by DaVince @ 62.51.160.32 on Dec 15 2007 3:55 PM   I can't think of any other reason than: why not? Mono works pretty well on Linux so far...   [Reply]   Re: why mono? posted by Anonymous @ 81.168.143.35 on Dec 15 2007 4:09 PM   Ok, so does c/cpp. So, again-> why mono? Is it faster, more reliable, more friendly for programmer, etc.? Is there any reason for using it?   [Reply]   Re: why mono? posted by dmoonfire @ 99.141.251.250 on Dec 15 2007 4:41 PM   Well, I can give my reasons. :) I like C# as a language, both as features it got from Java and the constructs they added in their own. I like the aesthetics of the language and multi-platform nature that lets me work with it on both Windows, Mac, and Linux. I feel, as a language, it is very well designed and easy to work with. I happen to be involved with the Mono project, both as a Debian packager (mostly the ASP.NET stuff, but I have other work) and for the Emacs csharp-mode to let me code on Emacs. Yeah, I could have written it in C, C++, Java, or even Perl, but C# (and Mono) happens to be my favorite platform at the moment.   [Reply]   Re: why mono? posted by Anonymous @ 81.168.143.35 on Dec 15 2007 4:56 PM   That's what I call a reason:P   [Reply]   Re: why mono? posted by Anonymous @ 91.84.145.185 on Dec 19 2007 3:32 PM   The developer is coding using Boo and the Tao Framework. Nice language, good platform independence and hardware abstraction. Could probably get something similar using jython, I suppose, but it's a reasonable enough choice.   [Reply]   Re: why mono? posted by dmoonfire @ 99.135.171.208 on Dec 22 2007 2:55 PM   Actually, I'm using C# and the Tao framework, along with BooGame, which remarkably has Boo in it, but I don't use any of it. I prefer the C-family of languages and have too much of the love of the {} to properly appreciate Boo. :) That way, I can also use Visual Studio 2005 to make the Windows version of the game.   [Reply]

	There is source posted by dmoonfire @ 64.135.213.196 on Nov 12 2007 9:24 PM
Right now, the source for the game is in a couple of places. BooGame and Prebuild are both on Sourceforge, the SVN repository has the minimum required stuff, including a Makefile to build it. MfGames.Utility and Mfgames.Sprite3 (which has CuteGod at the moment) is on http://mfgames.com/svn/Libraries and http://mfgames.com/svn/Sprite3. At the moment, everything is kind of a mess since I threw it together, but I'm hoping to get stuff cleaned out before I get to a 1.0 release (actually before I hit 0.4). It does require Mono to properly run and it doesn't quite have a lot of good error checking for missing dependencies at the moment. Still working on that bit. :) The Freshmeat stuff doesn't have source because frankly, there should be about 8 projects that need updating on FM to properly break it out into its various sources, and I'm a tad lazy. Sorry. - D. Moonfire
