Other Games / Re: Starshatter: The Gathering Storm. Now Free/Open-Source

The main sad part to me about Starshatter is that not much people ( coding-able people of course) have been interested to pick up on the source code, and so it has gone nowhere yet, there was so much potential with this game and its dynamic campaign.
Though there were some videos on youtube hinting at someone having done something with the code, but the starshatter open board is so dead unfortunately.
Sadly...Google Code as primary repository.  License feels like "wants to be MIT" (have not fact-checked).

Obviously I can't commit to doing anything with this (between Rogue Survivor Revived, and a vaporware turn-based roguelike-like).  I don't know how bad the DirectX dependency is (I don't see anything else particularly inimical technically).  Target language MSVC++, so the DirectX isn't clearly instantly fatal for a fork.

Yes, I am using TDM 5.1 for my C++ projects now.  It works fine.  It would be nice if there was a more recent TDM, but the later builds from MingW64 appear fragile.

Right, 64-bit TDM 5.1 is Dead On Arrival on my development system; I had to use TDM 5.1.

(That is two major version lagged GCC, but thoroughly adequate as long as you aren't messing with C++17.)

Hmmm... supposedly xcom apoc did it, but the claim was likely untrue
XCOM Apocalypse made the claim for alien tactics, not the aliens themselves.  It's noticeable if you savescum a lot in the early game or otherwise replay the same battle multiple times (the aliens do tend to alter their routing to die more slowly), but not noticeable to the casual player.

As my C intuition says nothing should be defined in H file. Only declarations.
Enlightenment awaits your untrained intuition.

C things that must be declared in headers to implement Once And Only Once: preprocessor macros, enums.

C++ things that must be declared in headers to work at all: templates.  (ISO gave up on the export keyword...it was simply too difficult for the major compilers to implement.  Repurposing is planned.)

If you mean libreoffice afaik it's bigger than openoffice at the moment
Yes.  Doesn't change that LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice.  It was triggered by six months of active refusal to merge in bugfixes, and two-thirds of the dev team left for LibreOffice at the split.

I have gotten it to compile before; however my development environment is a tarball zoo of MingWin that I have to maintain a full backup of (as the *.exe installers for MingWin are Dead On Arrival on my systems).  Unfortunately, my ideas for new features were inconsistent with the game, so not worth releasing.

However, it's not that difficult.  Once you know you have a good C++ compiler install, you just add the files to the project until they're all there (no more missing includes warnings), then flush the errors out. ;)

That seems like a very.. strange thing to worry about in a post apocalyptic setting. It's interesting, but I'm curious as to what sort of medical tech is being accessed here as a result.
No medical tech required for mismatch between natural hormones and the neurological response to those hormones.  0.6% is the empirical neurological mismatch rate between natural hormones and the response to those hormones.

GPL and IOS don't mix. (I Am Not A Lawyer: existing in the Apple Store, is generally considered a GPL violation.)

I don't think there is a multi tile equivalent to A* out there for anyone to freely use.
it's the same as single-tile A*.  The implementing programmer just has to make a coordinate choice for the reference origin is for a multi-tile actor, then pass an appropriately different cost-of-movement function for evaluating what/how expensive legal moves are.  If there's a problem with heuristic costs, just degenerate to Dijkstra search which uses 100% accurate move costs.

I don't have the seniority to do the above refactoring for C/DDA, obviously.  If the above sketch isn't enough, any interested C/DDA dev can ping me to get the relevant class in Rogue Survivor Revived (FloodfillPathfinder is a Dijkstra search) relicensed as Creative Commons so it can be used a model for porting to C++ without causing GPLv3 issues.

Will be asking around, working search engines, etc.  If I don't get a lead quickly I'll have to cut a patch release rather than try to fix this; I don't think blind micro-optimization will do anything useful here.

The next best chance of getting a speed improvement is getting the Microsoft profiler to give usable information.  (Right now, it's saying the AI-specific code is ~1% of the run time, which is not credible.  If you suppress the 76% of the profiling that is waiting for keyboard input, that's ~4% which is equally not credible.  Introducing the police sweeping AI added ~2-4 seconds i.e. 200% increase of delay on the development machine, so it's got to have a substantial overhead.)
