It also seems to mess up the color temperature on my primary display (MBP screen), which is then cured by opening up the Displays control panel. Weird. - I've also seen the "repeatedly flashing the screen about 60 times after coming out of screensaver mode" bug, but it wasn't reproducible and wasn't related to the amount of time the screensaver was running. Top marks though overall, terrifically entertaining. I am here to re-report two bugs that others have seen:

It turns out that the case-sensitive HFS+ is the culprit. After renaming ~/Library/Application Support/Angband3/user/BORG.TXT to borg.txt things work! I figured it out (with a little help from GDB).

But I can't get the screensaver to work, it complains about me not having a proper BORG.TXT. The file is present in the package, so I don't know what's wrong (my only guess is that it might have something to do with me using case-sensitive HFS+, but I'm stabbing in the dark here). Bummer.

Corruption, errors and needing to restart with another screensaver. That sort of thing. I’ve had issues with the screensaver on dual screens.

The Crash however I couldn't reliably reproduce. There is a third problem though, that is, with no pause after messages and maximum speed for the borg after some time (~ 10 to 20 minutes) the borg just stops and sits around. That is, it doesn't crash, it just sits around doing nothing. Other than that, keep up the great work! cu Martin p.s.: Oh and by the way: your Blog doesn't handle international domain names for the website... thats why I had to put punicode this time... :) Hey, I have narrowed the error down further, the flash between black and the screen after the screensaver is disabled only happens if the option “pause after messages” is enabled.

Also If I stare at the screensaver for a longer time, it crashes. Can I assist you in finding that bug?

Maybe there could be an option to force a new character, just in case the game gets bogged down in the deeper levels of Angband.
