    • Slight Errors

      Didn't notice this site until chapter 17, so I apologize for not being more specific about the first two errors.

      If you have the book still in Word format hidden away somewhere, look for:


      1.) the word thorough when you meant through.
      2.) the phrase "is to" when just "to" is needed.

      Also,

      Location:
      Page 709: Table 18-1
      Last section.

      Problem:
      Explaination: The current working directory is beyond expectations.

      Explaination: Video memory requirements have grown different than the location of the file in question. The path name must be fully qualified.

      Tip(?)

      Problem: No icon!

      Expected: Tales from the Pixel Mines icon - unless this is somehow split from the previous Tale by a block of advice on memory corruption.

      2nd Paragraph (after tip)

      Problem:
      Finally, the duckbilled platypus of weird bugs are the ones generated by the compiler. It happens, more often that anyone would admit.

      Q
    • Location:

      p817
      First 6 lines of the table

      Problem:
      The multi-line type and returns bleed over into the next column. e.g. Type "Win number is" Return "Pay off is 1-1 (e.g., 1 through 18" Last column "Bankroll is adjusted $1 bet = $2 return) correctly"

      Expected:

      All columns to line up correctly like they do from 1st 12 on.

      Location:
      p818
      1st line of the table

      Problem:
      The word numbers from the first bet column is in the return column of that same line.

      Expected:

      The word numbers in the first column.



      Thanks!

    • I've fixed the problems in the debugging chapter for the 3rd edition. The testing chapter is going to be cut to make room for cooler stuff....
