Hey folks!

For anyone who remembers the awesome Wolf3D engine game Corridor 7 and has been itching to get it to work with a modern engine -- rejoice! For I have vibe-coded an ECWolf port of Corridor 7!

The port is called EC7Wolf, and can be found here:
https://github.com/jeddhor/EC7Wolf

What I need now are testers! I've tested it quite a bit but I'm sure there are still bugs and I'd love to get bug reports from anyone who finds them. I absolutely loved this game when it came out (I was 12!) and playing it with modern controls is indeed very awesome.

Videos from the CD version of the game are still on my list to get working!

They aggressively colonized the initial substrate but then when I moved them to the boiled hardwood fuel pellet sawdust, they colonized the sawdust but I've yet to see ANY pins out the holes in the side of my bucket. What do I do to trigger these things? I've been misting the holes daily. The top is such a mycelial mat that it's accumulating yellow fungal metabolites (thank you moderators for giving me a better word to use).

Nothing else even comes close.

I was honestly beginning to think this was never going to work! Started in March, first batch contaminated, this was the second. Took a long time to colonize, and this is 17 days in to S2B. Finally my very first pin!

I think my mycelium looks really good and well colonized and I've started doing fresh air exchange because there was a lot of moisture build up. I'm 14 days in to spawn to bulk. It seems like I should absolutely be seeing pins but I've got nothing! They're Golden Teachers... Anything else I should do to induce pinning? Last time I tried this I did neglect tek and so much water built up that it got contaminated.

The substrate looks healthy and completely colonized; there's no green on the surface at all. But I just looked through the sides and saw this today.

Is the blue-green color likely contamination, or could it be the mycelium bruising?

It's just simple cubes, but it took like 25 days for the grain spawn to colonize and now it's been 7 days since spawn to bulk and I'm going nuts waiting for pins. Does this look good to you folks? Do I just need to be patient?

I'm a first time grower and I have followed procedure to the letter. I cleaned my grain bag exterior with alcohol, had clean hands that were washed with alcohol and gloves that were washed without alcohol. I sterilized my needle tip with fire. But still, I think this is most likely contamination in the bag.

There are a few things that cause me to question if that's the case. I know that some mycelium bruising can occur if you over mix or do too many break and shakes. I also know that when colonization takes a very long time you sometimes get discoloration as well. The weather has fluctuated quite a bit during the grain spawn, it fluctuated between 50° and 75° F in my basement. Colonization took an extremely long time, almost 6 weeks to get to where it is right now. I did three separate break and shakes during that time. There's some condensation in the bag but absolutely no pooling water. The white growth looks incredibly healthy and stringy. But at the top the bag is clumpy and the mycelium appears gray. There's no powder or anything and the grains feel solid not mushy. I have not opened the bag to smell it yet so I don't have that as a reference.

The specific thing that worries me is that it seems confined to one part of the bag, the top. I don't know if that's because the top is more exposed to air and so there's more oxidation?

Anyway, I'm hoping some experienced growers out there can tell me exactly what I'm looking at and if I just lost 6 weeks to a contaminated grow.
