C++ version testing[message #101489]

I have compiled a C++ version of the JA2 source. I also removed a number of small problems in the code, although I'm not quite sure if they affected anything or not. I also turned on compiler options to compile with the goal of producing fast code, as well as removing some of the useless code.

I have done a few simple tests and it seems to function. Are there any fans out there that would like to test it further?

NOTE: it does not currently contain fixes or enhancements that are in the CVS version. This is so I can confirm this is stable compared to the original.

the executable can be downloaded from my website:

Hello.

Have you "translated" all de .c files to .cpp ?
There are a lot of files. Great effort.

its not that much work, its still the same code, just compiling under a C++ enviroment.
just had to resolve type checks, ambiguous function calls, and duplicate symbols and declarations.

I admit I went for the simple solution in most cases.

Any chance that a object oriented C++ version is luking in the shadows?

It would be a tremendous effort (and might be easier with a clean, from scratch rewrite), but there are benefits.

I'm sure I'm not the first one to suggest it, perhaps there's other threads of note where it has been discussed?

if I get more free time I might begin a semi-OOP version. but this would would likely be quite limited to expanding some of there sorta-objectized elements by attaching the relative functionality to the object.
