Nice to hear that :-). Help is always welcome.

There's still more than enough work left to do on the C++ side.
Besides, if you know C++, Python will be simple to pick up!

That one is simple. You need to run it with ./worldtest -g ../../adonthell/test
That's where the data is. Maybe that is wrong in the Wiki?

That one seems more severe. Appears that it cannot find the Python
modules. Did you do a 'make install'? Otherwise, setting PYTHONPATH
might work as well. In your case it should probably point to

/home/frederico/vanilla_adonthell/adonthell-build/src/py-wrappers/adonthell/

crono.png is lost, I fear. Probably better that way, as it was a
sprite from the SNES game Crono Trigger. Which was probably fine for
testing, but nothing we would want to distribute widely :-).


Hope that gets you going! If not, please let us know ...

P.S: feel free to drop by on IRC. irc.freenode.net, channel
#adonthell. (I'll be around tomorrow ... it's a bit late today). In
case you're not familiar with IRC, I'd recommend xchat as a pretty
nice client.
