Hi people,

This is Anthony Cole the original developer,
I haven't had a look at the code for about 3 years now,
but looking at it gives me nightmares :)..
It's so bad, I didn't know how to make good software yet,
and I was just hacking it up for fun and to learn C++.

If we're too fix it right up it would be best to design it properly
from scratch, with new features like opengl, scripted units/structures, 
scripted ai and so on, 
develop automated unit tests, make it run off the original data....
The existing code is basically a prototype, but almost everything is there 
now,
so it won't be too hard to do...

I don't want to discourage people, because the improvements made since I left 
the project are fantastic.  So I reckon keep going with it,

But, Ill get started on a design, Ill see if I can keep
the motivation up to get it somewhere...
Also I have to learn how to use opengl in sdl too
