ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

That's where it hung. Not consuming CPU, not repsonsive to keyboard or mouse. Window did not redraw itself when I left the desktop (fvwm2 pager) and came back (remained as a big black rectangle). Eventually I killed the t-engine process with kill -1. There was no savefile when I re-launched the game.

There might have been more logfile stuff, but the way I'm running the game causes the log output to be buffered. (I'm doing ./bin/Debug/t-engine 2>&1 | tee logfile.) Maybe I should install expect and try this unbuffer thing it has.

I don't suppose there's any code to attempt to save the game upon receiving a (unix) signal...?

Nope.

if this happens again can you atatch gdb to the process and see where it hangs please ?
