Kind of Quiet Here!

What is everyone working on in CS?

Coding Modern Wars, then after that, the CS 1.05 update. Pitching in with graphics enhancements also, when I can find the time.

As the "new programmer," I'm easing into this. Well, maybe not "easing": bulling my way forward, actually. I received the source code just earlier this week. Tons of stuff to learn (~100,000 lines of code over several hundred files), tons of stuff to do, tons of challenges, tons of gotchas too no doubt.

Modernizing legacy code (JT's code, dating back to the late 1990s, when JTCS first came out); ensuring compatibility across so many versions of Windows over the years, and so many evolutions of C++; not to mention: fixing bugs old and new, adding new features (in most cases optional! no breaking of older legacy scenarios!), spiffing up the UI ... You have no idea!

When I have tangible accomplishments, I plan to open an ongoing Dev Diary thread at the Matrix Forum. But it's much too soon for that.

Remember: Rome Wasn't Built in a Day.

Wish me luck.

Hi berto,

Welcome. We wish you all the luck in the world - can't wait for the dev diary.

Regards,
Ashley
