Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-games
As reported by others in the following thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-games/+bug/574212 The following 2 behaviours can be observed: 1) Death upon rebirth 2) Unexplained death during play (not associated with reversal) I will assume that the same cause underlies both. Investigation has shown me that in the case of (2) the program believes you are colliding with another worm (often number 6) when the display shows that the other worm is in a completely different area of the board. Therefore there is a discrepancy between the internal board representation (board->walls) and the screen representation (clutter actor). In the case of (1) I imagine that there is an 'invisible segment' of worm close to the point at which you are reborn with which you collide. Therefore you die immediately after rebirth, whereas if you manage to change direction immediately you can avoid death. I have not yet made any progress in finding or fixing the underlying bug. :-( ** Affects: gnome-games (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Nibbles - Unexpected Death upon rebirth (gnibbles) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606624 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
