I found a bug in the game!

[Vildern]

One screen north from Hagatha's cave, at the beginning of the game you see possum (?). Near her there is that YELLOW BIG BUTTERFLY! Fix it please so I could play the game without bugs <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> This patch needs to be made, it should be called: "Free from butterflies game patch". <p></p><i></i>

This is not a bug. Technically speaking, butterflies belong to the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>lepidoptera</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> family -- not the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>coleoptera</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> family, which is the largest of the two insect orders and classifies all species of beetles... or bugs, if you prefer. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

...well according to: [1913 Webster]<br><br>1. (Zo["o]l.) A general name applied to various insects<br>belonging to the Hemiptera; as, the squash bug; the chinchbug, etc.<br> <br>2. (Zo["o]l.) An insect of the genus Cimex, especially the bedbug ({Cimex lectularius). See Bedbug.<br> <br>3. (Zo["o]l.) One of various species of Coleoptera; as, the ladybug; potato bug, etc.; loosely, any beetle.<br> <br>4. (Zo["o]l.) One of certain kinds of Crustacea; as, the sow bug; pill bug; bait bug; salve bug, etc.<br> <br> Note: According to popular usage in England and among<br> housekeepers in America around 1900, bug, when not<br> joined with some qualifying word, was used specifically<br> for bedbug. As a general term it is now used very<br> loosely in America as a colloquial term to mean any<br> small crawling thing, such as an insect or arachnid,<br> and was formerly used still more loosely in England.<br> ``God's rare workmanship in the ant, the poorest bug<br> that creeps.'' --Rogers (--Naaman). ``This bug with<br> gilded wings.'' --Pope.<br> [1913 Webster +PJC]<br><br>AGC2 is right the butterfly is not a bug, but bugs are more then the coleoptera family. If you use the more generous definition of bug "a small crawling insect" then the larvea of the butterfly is a bug.<br>That means that the yellow butterfly that is flying free in KQ2 is a symbol of all the hours of bugfixing and testing that the Tierra team has endured.<br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>/mason <p></p><i></i>
