did you extract the data directory? I tried it on my other computer and extracted all of the folders and into the same directory as the executable? it needs to have the potions.txt, weapons.txt and armour.txt inside this. It works fines on my laptop fine as well as my desktop.

Oops, it would seem my friends have edited some of the files. They playtested it and i must of forgotten to delete the old files. Very sorry about that.

As for spelling, i notice a lot of the errors and said i would update them in the readme, some of them are stupid and i noticed them after compilation. And the email needed to be spelled that way because the correct spelling was already taken.

I am very surprised about the crashing, it works fine on windows vista 32 bit, again i am sorry and will patch this asap.

I will work on this and submit another version tonight. Thanks for the pointers.

Edit: i have deleted the file

With regard to proc gen, i think roguelikes are an excellent example of this.

As a person clinically diagnosed with AS, i really hate it when people classify themselves as AS just because they cannot accept they are assholes.

While people with AS can be assholes (i go out of my way to piss people off who pick on me regardless of social standing) i am not to the majority of the time, i try to be nice to most people.

If anything, i feel that AS is hardly an excuse for flaws, if anything it means you have an excuse for putting 10+ hours a day into getting a new version of your game out( this is an anecdote of course, as that is what i have been doing). If i am honest i think people with AS(at least myself) try harder than a lot of people not to be an asshole.

I also think this idea of having no friends is fallacy as well. While i may not go out to parties(i dont enjoy the atmosphere), i do often socialise with friends over things most would view as nerdy such as d&d. Although i can sense sometimes that what i have said is socially awkward, however sometimes it is the opposite.

Finally, i do not think that most software engineers have AS. To put this into perspective, roughly 1% of the general populaton have AS. While IT(and mathematics and science in general) probably have a higher proportion than other professions, i dont have evidence to support this.
