Or is it my setup?
I'm using Indigo as the Roku IDE and have experienced many issues with the SDK examples/source directory
These range from the easily fixable errors (videoplayer) to complicated hard to trace errors (snake)
With videoplayer its a case of simply fixing the highlighted bits of code in Eclipse (multiple elseif statements)
When it comes to Snake it deploys OK but then bombs out with the following in Debugger...
059: if (app.bitmapset=invalid) then stop
Samples are meant to teach but you can't learn a lot from broken code unless you know how to fix it in the first place
