Woohoo, good to see some beta testers got their cards and got them working. Thanks for the compliments! Most beta testers are still waiting for their cards due to technical difficulties. I am hoping to hear more on a solution to that problem this week, stay tuned.

The first Pixel Pup release will have four themed puzzle packs. Here is the third one, DIY. These images make it look like there will be 4 puzzle pack cards, but in reality, there will most likely be 2 puzzle pack cards. I'm shooting for about 80 puzzles total.

The bug that crashes Franny Answers is now totally confirmed, as I hit the same bug in PixelPup. SpriteFree does not truly deallocate sprites. Or maybe it does with an added parameter, who knows? The pitfalls of developing for a proprietary system that has to be reverse engineered to be understood.
