In my last post I mentioned some updates, version 1.6, while containing some pretty flawed menu spacing, has some of those updates. The files attached to this blog post represent *almost* the latest incarnation of Fasteroids. I say almost because I've made a few changes, but I'm going to have to switch development to my laptop for the time being.

Sadly my desktop computer has been behaving particularly badly lately. In the past couple of months it has crashed and rebooted twice in the middle of a development session. Luckily I had backups each time that were not too old. (The master branch of the git repository is pretty old, but the development branch has a lot of updates).

I suspect my 400W Corsair power supply just can't handle my dual monitor setup with my NVidia GeForce 650 Ti Boost card. It did really well for years while I had a single monitor, but when I've added a second monitor before and ran something like a benchmark I've experienced the same rebooting. The simple answer is to buy a better power supply (Thinking 600W 80 Bronze should be enough) but at the moment it just isn't in the budget (birthdays and end-of-month expenses).

Again I'm pretty lucky because I can just transfer development to my laptop, but it's been a couple of months since I've used it so I'll also need some time to set up all the software I've been using and  checkout the development branch. I expect I'll be back with more news in a couple of days. (Busy at work too and it hasn't been the best week for health, so I may rest a day or so).
