Brickoids has been thoroughly bug-tested on various Apple machines and we believe that the game is essentially bug-free. But a wise man once said that there's no such thing as bug-free software, so we're always on the lookout for flaws in the game. You, as a Brickoids player, can be a source of great help to us if you take the trouble to report any bugs you find. To report a bug in the game, please e-mail us at sothdev@soth.zoneit.com. Make note however, that we will need the following information:
MacOS version
Computer Model
Any non-Apple extensions enabled
Screen resolution
No. of colours
Other applications running
We would really appreciate any reports, so by all means don't hesitate to e-mail us.
Known Problems
There are three known problems with Brickoids.
1. If you have Virtual Memory turned on in the Memory Control Panel or are using RamDoubler the Drum'n Bass loop tune will not loop smoothly, but stop at the end of each loop with a 20 tick delay. To fix this you can disable Virtual Memory and RamDoubler in the Extensions Manager.
2. If you open Brickoids with the Control Strip visible it will not be drawn. Instead an opaque white will remain on the screen. This can be avoided/removed by hiding the Control Strip in the Control Strip.
3. If you change screen resolution while running Brickoids, the game will not register this new resolution and the game window will no longer centre on the screen. It's best simply not to change resolution.
