Re: Fw: Status of a Java Port of FreeCiv (fwd)

Yeah,

I'd love to get involved in it again if other people were helping out too.
I'm in "ship mode" at work this week (hence the working at the weekend bit
:( ), but I may have a bit more free time in a couple of weeks to work on
java freeciv.

To be honest, the main reason I got a bit disillusioned and stopped working
on it was that I found myself mostly converting large chunks of the original
C code to Java ( I was trying to implement the isometric tile support ). As
I was converting it, of course, the C code was changing as people submitted
patches / fixes for the "main" version of freeciv. I had a bit of "I'll
never catch up" syndrome.

But with others to help out, maybe this won't be so bad... :) Plus there's a
whole load of UI work needs to be done (an area where I think the java
freeciv has the potential to be much _better_ than the C freeciv) if you're
not into the back end / graphics engine stuff.

Anyhow, would you guys prefer CVS commit rights, or just to submit patches
to the list (ala the C freeciv)? I own the dubh.org server outright, so
providing access is no problem...

Hello everyone,

"Me too!" :-) I have a bit of experience with java and swing, and I also
_don't_ have a lot of time, as everyone else does. But as I see it we are
currently four people, and from what I saw on Brians page we'd have a nice
code base to work on (the screenshots look nice, Brian!). So perhaps four
times a little bit of time is enough to get the client code going. The four
persons I mentioned would be
- Andreas ([email protected])
- Roy Tate ([email protected])
- Brian Duff ([email protected])
- me, Alexander Braun (braunsAlexander-S0/[email protected])

Brian, would you take the lead for this? I know you don't have too much
time, but I'd think that
