Should we go through and put all our feature requests and bugreports in the new sourceforge site?
Right now we have a different version of code for the Windows version and the Linux version. That's a little weird(especially since the linux code actually misses a few changes from the earlier versions)
I will look at the windows code and see how easy it is to make portable without removing anything. My imagination tells me that probably a new header file for linux containing replacement functions for everything that doesn't exist under linux, or just straight up linux replacements for the libraries(though parameters might need to be modified to suit the windows code, dummy functions underneath the actual libraries)
It likely won't be that easy though, and I have No Idea how to make configuration or make files, so aside from a basic one that does no dependency or error checking, someone else would probably have to do it. That is basically what we have now though, so I can just reuse it.
I also kind of want to clone the whole game to (at worst) improve my programming skills, but I'll take a look at this first*laugh*
EDIT: The windows source code...compiles fine o_O And the images work now too. I think the windows source code should be the official version, I can't imagine why they have a seperate version up with so many small differences. It's not the same code(they have different filesizes), and diffing them apparently requires practically catting the whole file twice, or maybe I just don't know how to use diff.(likely)
If Jonathon puts up the whole of his version of the code, it should probably work fine. Though .tar.gzing it would be proper I'll provide a linux binary after. Right now #define NDEBUG=false seems to have to be added somewhere though. Possibly other defines too. I don't know.
And...the newspaper/cable graphics not working is exclusive to this system. *frustrated:P* the windows code does compile fine, and the differences are probably just the ugly ^M lines from windows line feeds, and the added compression for text from tar.gz. I'm going to take a nap -_-
