It probably is because I set the sound to 96000hz (or whatever that is) :(

Do you have a recommendation to make as to what setting should work best?

Btw: what is your system and what drivers do you use?

Does anyone else have screwy sound?

[useless information] I don't have sound on my computer since i broke it.. :death: :cry: [/useless information]
Not sure, but maybe older soundcards and cheap onboard chips only can handle 48000 hz.
Many audio codecs can only handle up to 44100hz in many audio programs, so 96000 hz seems to be pretty much.

Probably. 44100hz is the most compatible. I'm using onboard Intel High Definition Audio.

At your convenience, please test cave_boy-1.1rc1.love from http://github.com/qubodup/cave-boy/downloads which contains 44100hz sounds.

Thank you for providing the test file. The sound effects are fine with this one. I guess my sound card is kind of sucky.

It's not actually that hard to generate mazes.
Check out this site http://www.astrolog.org/labyrnth/algrithm.htm for a list of algorithms.

I found it pretty easy to implement the recursive backtracker algorithm.

to ljdp:
wow I'm impressed at your maze generator :D
you managed to randomly generate a huge maze, yet keeping it moderately easy to solve

to qubodup:
yea the sounds are garbled on my side, but its still funny especially when you knock into a wall.
quite cool that you managed to get so much done in such a short time, I'm sort of a slow worker :X
Thy father beckons.
