[Mono-list] Porting FreeTrain to Mono

[Free Gamer]

Wow!  Amazing!  I haven't tried it but that's so quick!

I've cc'd the patch to freetrain-devel at lists.sourceforge.net but I
suggest you also join it for further discussion there since so the
rest of the dev team will also be able to see.

Thanks!

Hello,

 So I've created a patch to make it build with mono (from FreeTrain.sln,
 built with MonoDevelop). Though I
 could not get it run fine on mono due to some SDL_Image_Load()
 behavioral difference that returns null.

 atsushi at linux-tx2c:/svn/FreeTrainSDL/bin/Debug> MONO_IOMAP=all mono
 --debug FreeTrainSDL.exe
 Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.
 Parameter name: src
  at (wrapper managed-to-native)
 System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal:PtrToStructure (intptr,System.Type)

 /svn/FreeTrainSDL/lib/SDLGFX.net/Surface.cs:99

 /svn/FreeTrainSDL/Program.cs:120

 /svn/FreeTrainSDL/Program.cs:79

 It would be nice if someone who is familiar with Tao/SDL could try it.
