Incantus hangs after play

Attachment contains game.replay & Incantus.exe.log.

But nevertheless thanks for the fun. Incantus has a really impressive interface.

BTW, any plans to release source? It would be great if one could tweak and patch here and there...

Incantus works with a few people who are spending some time on the program. Those people (MageKing, me, Marek) will look at it and hopefully solve the problem ;-)

And it's very helpfull indeed to attach the log and replay, thank you for that !

Also Incantus is hoping to make it open source in the end, but I think that's not near-future

By "after play", would you be referring to "after the match has ended"?

Because if so, there's not really something we can do about that. Incantus (the program) doesn't yet have any "recycling" capability... which is to say, it doesn't clear all of its data back to the way it was before the game started after the game ends. If you finished a match, and want to play again, you just have to quit and re-open it (for now).

I say this because the error log looks like an error you might get if you try it, but I actually haven't taken a look at the replay yet.

Yes. And by "hangs" I mean "I had to open Process Explorer to kill Incantus".

Why then display message "Press 'n' to start..." after the match?

BTW, can't you just destroy and then recreate Python VM after the match? This will clean everything up...

I didn't put that into the code, blame Incantus.

I didn't say I didn't have any ideas of how to do it, we simply haven't gotten around to it yet. It's not high on our priority list. Mid-game bugs are. I'm working on fixing one right now.
