SLIGE on WinXP.

I am using SLIGE for the first time, and it does something wonky on my WinXP laptop. It goes to DOS for a few seconds when I run it, does something kooky with text that moves too fast for me to discern, then hits an apparent end to its program and shuts down before I can discern what is going on.

Advice? =^/

Run the executable from a command line prompt.

That is what its supposed to do. If you look in the folder where you have SLIGE you'll find a new level has magically appeared. Just remember to run it through a node builder before you try to play it.

might i suggest this...

awesome frontend for slige :)
