What exactly is the difference between download one and two?
Not sure about SDL versus Catacurses.

Catacurses is our internal library for mapping linux-style terminal drawing commands to the windows system. It works surprisingly well, but it’s a bit slow. The SDL version uses the Simple DirectMedia Layer library to render the text. Reports are that this makes for much faster rendering on windows systems, also the font support is a little different from the curses version.
tl;dr SDL is faster on windows.

Hurray! Thanks a lot for working so hard on CataDDA and adding so many new features. 🙂 And if I’m not mistaken, the updates are coming faster too.

There seems to a bug were if you something, the game freezes. I don’t know if that’s just on my end or not.

Imbalanced. I become terminator with bow after two hours playing.

My apologizes for posting twice in this thread, as I’m not really if this is considered a double-post or not, but have giant ants been weakened? Last version, I couldn’t barely kill one with a baseball bat, now I killed two dozen with a half-full bottle of water.

It seems to be working fine now. But what meant was, when I attempt to smash or attack something, my character would freeze.

Crashed when I browsed the items list down to the word “purse” in debug mode. Wonder why.
