\"PicoComma\"<\/p>\n

I had a nasty bug in my game that prevented a good number of people from playing. \u00a0The issue? \u00a0It was how I was parsing floating point values from the level data. \u00a0I wasn’t doing it in a culture neutral fashion, so anyone that used a comma instead of a period as the divider between integer and fractional portions of the number would crash. \u00a0The solution was to make all the parsing culture invariant.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who helped me find the bug on IRC, and especially Deinonychus<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for getting me the stack trace of the error. \u00a0If possible go play his game because he is such a nice guy:\u00a0http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-27\/?action=preview&uid=19103<\/a><\/p>\n
