Caverns of Underkeep - Now Four Days without a NullPointerException Error!

February 18th, 2008 · 2 Comments

According to my logs, the random freeze bug that would happen ever so rarely has not occurred for four days now. This could mean one of two things - Either my logging system is broken, or I fixed the bug :)
If I did indeed fix it (random crash bugs are really hard to fix) then it was because I wasn’t calling Thread.Sleep(10) in my main loop. Apparently if you don’t do this the operating system gets in a big huffy at you as it has a hard time juggling all of its other tasks and decides to punish you by arbitrarily and non-deterministically crashing - Sort of like the toddler who decides they’ve had enough walking, so in protest they just sit down and will not move.

PS : I’m still playing around with the web design of this site. Hopefully I’ll be able to simultanously launch the new site and a new game in a couple of weeks
