Content-Type: text/plain Date: Thu, 06 Aug 1998 08:30:56 PDT Precedence: bulk Hello. If you are interested in working on a C++ version of NetHack, which is being developed primarily with DJGPP, please point your browsers to: http://www.pathcom.com/~simex/opr/lotm.htm You must have a copy of RHIDE, DJGPP and ALLEGRO if you want to do easy work for this project, otherwise you can be a 'porter' and port it to .. say linux SVGAlib or whatever. One of the visions behind this project is to use as many of DJGPP's C++ features as Rightly possible. It will be a showcase of the best C++ programming style and how great DJGPP is, and of course how great C++ is and how great GNU is at doing it. I estimate I am about 35% done the coding, but all the major structures are in place. I have used about half of Bill Foust's code but have changed it in many ways to support DJGPP things like "bool a:1,b:1 __attribute__ ((packed));". The objects and monsters can be stored in an Allegro datafile so I am not counting those in the above percentage. It's going to be great! A 100x as extendable nethack. Read and distribute everywhere. --Oliver Richman ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
