It works, and is quite nice, although slow, game. Unfortunately it seems that I live in a country (Finland is not on the list) that is not allowed to participate the competition so Sun can have their software and keep it!
Actually I don't have a suitable computer either. At the moment I run just OS X and OpenBSD.
I happen to have Sun Studio for Linux on my SuSE laptop and I was able to compile the code just fine (with a couple of warnings). It actually seems to be a sort of a fortune(1) program ;-)
Oooops! Sorry for the blunder when I compiled the code my laptop was actually running Solaris (its hard to tell OSes apart these days -- they all look like Gnome to me ;-)) so it seems that in order to score you have to have Solaris Express Developer Edition. Don't know whether there's something about Sun Studio that comes preinstalled with it -- but nothing else seem to work :-( On a bright side, I'm now part of high score table ;-)

Uhm... is it possible that this game doesn't work right now ? I get the start music and the "Play"/"Continue" buttons but they do not work... ;-(

Well I played through up to the part where you need to compile some code with Sun Studio... and the code does not compile.
It's pretty obfuscated though I've gotten most of the problems out.. down to 3 errors.
In the same boat. I am unable to compile the code at all.
Tries it from the command prompt with no luck.
From the GUI don't know where to start?
May be the REAL compitation is to see if anyone can compile the code?

Works just peachy -- Parallels + Solaris Dev Edition on a MacBook Pro.
Cute game, but short.
Eh? I compile it with gcc on Linux just fine. You need to change the value of "A" in enum inside struct from -1 to 1.
how to get a high score over 1300,000?
