that email I tried all sorts of key combos just to see what would
happen, including holding down the eject key. Three minutes later, the
cd tray pops out.
I've now moved the project over onto my laptop and ran it in
"developing" mode (doesn't resize the screen and such), and the game
loop is obviously still going around because it's hitting the
DoSoundMaintenance function which gives time to QuickTime via
MoviesTask to keep the sounds playing. Every loop iteration gets longer
and longer, but nothing is drawn to the screen.I would love to step through with the debugger if I knew how I could
use it only where it froze. I'm trying a few different methods but I
haven't got any to work yet.
