Re: [Eighthfleet-development] Succesful Windows Port

[Nathan C. <n_...@ho...>]

Ok, well I committed r35 which has a few small bug fixes. I'm not even 
entirely sure where I want to go from here with the nav code. What I have so 
far is kind of frustrating me due to its bugginess and shortcomings and 
difficutly of bug hunting. The code's a mess, but that could always be 
cleaned up. What I really want to do is rip out almost the entire thing and 
rewrite it, using the valuables lessons I gleaned from trying to do it the 
first time. I have several ideas for vastly increasing efficiency with a 
cleaner, better design and getting rid of algorithmic shortcomings  that 
have shown themself thus far.

Oh and if you get some development time tomorrow, check the notes and see if 
you can find that bug I mention so we can use ship2. I'll be working on 
slides tomorrow too. Do you want to create any of the slides?
