First of all, I have to apologize for not having been around these days, but I was busy with other business...

For the compilation problems, I tried to make it easier to check dependencies and compile the game without needing to spend too much time studying automake tools or similar (which I actually never used before) - which lead me to writing that make.sh script, which actually runs only on debian based distros.

As for non-debian based distributions, I probably had better inserting more instructions in the readme file (my fault, I know) - but running the command in the posts above should work (I will fix the readme ASAP)

Coming to the "error" shirish had, it is not a real bug, but a performance problem. The real fact is that the database loading system is not very performant - that means, it takes very long to load the whole database, first of all, because the database loading system is not very efficient, secondly because the way it is used in the game is the worst possible (it requires to load multiple times even the same objects - although I realized it much too late to change it); when I started adding content, this became a pretty annoying problem, though I didn't have time to fix it.

So, to try my game you must be veeeery patient and motivated, that's it :)
