Submission + - Boo 0.9 released! (codehaus.org)

neonux writes: "It's a great day for .NET and Mono developers: Boo, the hybrid static/dynamic wrist-friendly programming language with powerful yet simple meta-programming capabilities has just reached version 0.9.
This is the biggest release ever, with many improvements all across the board, and lot of new features including: generator macros (ie. yield new code blocks dynamically), nestable macros (handy to create DSLs), generic parameter constraints, a strict mode that enforce more conservative defaults and checks, string interpolation formatting, and last but not least (well...maybe least actually;) Silverlight support.
Grab it while it's hot! Feel free to join the mailing-list for questions and latest updates on Boo development."

Gets the music but black screen.

Too bad the author did not develop the game multi-platform :(

For an independent game developer it is quite sad to lose the opportunity to cater an audience (OSX and Linux users) that is lacking (AAA) games and probably quite interested in this kind of physics-based yet casual game altogether.

More precisely the bug is an infinite loop in ConvertDays function starting line 249 :

      while (days > 365)
        {
                if (IsLeapYear(year))
                {
                        if (days > 366)
                        {

When it is the 366th day of a leap year process is trapped in the while loop.

And well I suspect the while-based implementation is quite dumb in the first place...
