I was checking out Catch22 on the new releases list and saw that I couldn't read the majority of the text in the screenshots on my screen.  What a bummer.

[quote user="LoneWolf0416"]Does anyone have any idea why this is happening??? [/quote]We'd have a better idea if you'd try pasting some of the relevant drawing code to the thread.

[quote user="Jim Perry"][quote user="Mihalych"]I mean how is it possible to take care of every single possible way to crash a game with this controller stuff?[/quote] You could start with more robust exception handling.[/quote]I absolutely agree here with using Nick Gravelyns exception handling technique.  I'm sure I ...

[quote user="michaelj89"]Would it be possible to apply this to a platform positioned from a level map text file (as in the Platformer Starter Kit)?[/quote]I don't see why it would make a difference.  You will just have to make sure to take note of each platform in your code as it's loaded in.  This may require a list object to ...
