[gcompris-devel] Re: `Divide by zero' bug...

[Bruno Coudoin]

Herman,
The difference here is in the use of sublevel.
If you look a clickgame (the fishes), each time you click on a fish, a
sublevel is incremented and it is displayed in the status scale bar.
After 10 sublevel, I go to the next level (and the dice in the control
bar moves on).
But some boards like the paratrooper do not need to use sublevel.
That is the difference you see here.

Hope this clarify.
Bruno.
