Serge has been working on an X-Com remake tactical engine.  We've been working an X-Com remake Geoscape engine.  hmmmmmm...  It seems to me like these two projects could save each other a lot of time. -chrisp

[Xenocide-programming] code upload

Implemented some functions and would like to know whether to proceed in
the same spirit.

Hi Tamas, the idea of those interface is not implement them right away. We
are experimenting on what is needed to specify the most basic behaiviors.
Most of that work is design related, not implementation. We are trying to
define the most basic abstractions, mostly as a framework to define the
semantics and interrelationship of the several components... So implement
them right away is not the most important thing right now, the most
important is to design.

When I get internet at home (when my new ISP takes the time to connect it
- I hate how things work in Argentina...) I will be able to put the
implementation in the CVS. If you have any trouble or want to chat about
the design, we can call for a meeting this weekend on IRC. Just let me
know.

Greetings

Right, that's a good idea. And a far as I remember, we have already
discussed it some time ago.

UFO2000 still lacks good design (ability to easily replace rendering
part of the code). Xenocide still lacks playability, at least you
could add some UFOs flying and the ability to intercept them.

By the way, look here. These games are very simple and easy to code,
but they are playable, that's the approach I like very much:

Well, both our projects are improving, so it is quite possible that we
will join out efforts in the future.
