Re: [Enigma-devel] Two bugs in 1.00

[Andreas Lochmann]

Hi,

thank you very much for your detailled bug reports.
I think, what you saw are the following two "features":

The first bug is part of the "world record hunt" mode.
This mode is activated when the leftmost button in the
level menu shows the world icon. In this mode, the marble
shatters when the game is paused. We didn't decide yet,
if we change this behaviour.

The second bug is part of the Oxyd compatibility modes.
The oxyd stones in the old Oxyd games series closed if
same-coloured oxyds are opened within a too short time.
Enigma is able to simulate this behaviour, in particular
in those levels rebuild from the old Oxyd games, together
with other slight differences between the games. If you're
interested in these differences: There's a section in the
reference manual dealing with this:

Greets,
Andreas
