Linux version keeps "restarting"

I just bought the linux version via Humble Bundle. Installed grimrock under ~/bin/grimrock/ and started it ... which results in the main menu screen showing up, and "flickering" every second, and the mouse cursor resets to the center of the screen. Music plays, and I can interact with the ...

Re: @Devs: Will the dungeon editor allow us to...

Yes, it's possible but requires some trickery because you can't send messages or add connectors between levels. However, you can teleport items on a pressure plate on another level. The plate can then open a door, for example. How about global lua variables? Make the trigger set the variable, and t...

Re: any chance of a random dungeon generator in the future?

I also love Dungeon Hack, and was hoping that LoG would have a random dungeon generator. But, if the map format is documented (for eg. modding), other people can create the random dungeon generator.
