Well, I was having trouble with creating the blocks which made up the level (I had just moved the 'generate level' code from the code for the game window to a Level class); the blocks were being created inside the game window '$window', but according to the error message, as far as the blocks were concerned '$window' didn't exist. This was odd, since all of the blocks had (as far as I could tell) been created after $window had been initialized.
Somehow I managed to get into my head that it would be a good idea to try replacing '$window' with 'Game.new', making each new block spawn in a new window. Unfortunately, every time a window is created, about 100 blocks are created. Yeah. Infinite loops FTL.
The computer froze, and I had no choice but to press the power button.

ReplyDeleteSo much for modern operating systems, eh? That's similar to the kinds of crashes I'd get developing for *DOS* back in the good/bad old days...
If you have the Remote Login feature of OS X turned on (SSH, in other words) you can SSH in to the machine from another computer and use "ps" to find the guilty process and "kill" to terminate it.
