[Rails-devel] Documentation

[Brett L. <wak...@ea...>]

I've added a bunch of additional JavaDoc comments throughout the main game engine code, mostly making various methods' purpose more clear. These are now in CVS.  

I'll continue to add more comments to the UI and elsewhere over the next couple days.

I've also added a README file in the /tiles directory that notes the fact that we're not reading those files at all right now. The XML files that we're actually using are over in the /data directory.

I've added a very rudimentary homepage, so now when you hit http://rails.sourceforge.net you actually get something somewhat meaningful.  You can even download the nightly CVS tarball from there if you're having problems accessing CVS directly.


Also, for anyone new to the list, here's the setup I've used to successfully compile the current code in CVS:

Java JVM: Sun's J2SE 1.4.2 (and 1.5)
OS: WinXP Pro (both 32-bit and 64-bit), Fedora Core 4
IDE: Eclipse 3.1


Lastly, ignore just about all of the stats on SourceForge. They're wrong. 

To quote SourceForge: "There is an ongoing issue with SourceForge.net project stats (as documented on the Site Status page) which relates to download statistics, CVS statistics and project activity rankings. These statistics (as of 2003-06-30) may be inaccurate or null (0) for your project at this time."

Just check the files out of CVS and hack away.
