   Anyone could lend me a quick hand?
  I just ported a quick version of Pong (the game) for windows. However, this was all done on a virtual machine (win 2000) on Linux. So I can't be sure if it works on Win XP and Win Vista. Thus:If you have a spare minute, and your machine is Win XP or Win Vista, could you quickly test if the game runs? I will send the executable via email (so you will either have to PM me it, or post your email here). Thanks in advance! [Smile]   
  I'd be happy to test in on XP and Server 2003, on one condition - post your source code for review so we can all be sure you're not doing anything devious [wink]   ;  I have VMs setup for both XP and Win7, so I can see if it runs on those if you want to send me a copy.   ;

Thanks again for your help guys!   ;Quote:Original post by pseudobotPlease send me your email address via PM or post it here (I recommend PM, less chance of bots harvesting it). Thanks again for your help guys!Why not just post a link to the game so we can just download it???
