Hi, I'm new to developing Wormux (though I've been playing for a while), and I have a few questions.
I have a patch against 0.8.2 and the svn trunk (the attached is against svn) that allows downloading of a picture, in particular as part of a map. I have done this so that I can create a map at run time based on data from a web service. Is this something that might get merged into the official game? I have sent the patch though it is extremely simple and doesn't have any progress indicator, error handling, etc.. I also created a team and maps based on the software company that I work for. We do not work on Open Source software so I don't think the team that I create will be of interest to anyone else, the mascot is a very ugly gorilla (I'm definitely no artist). To play with my friends I need to create binaries for OS X and Windows (UNIX people are used to building their own). I believe I have created the OS X app, but am wondering about the Windows version. I have never done any Windows development and I'm not sure if I should use mingw or VS. The wiki page implies that a VS build may require the user to have VS installed. I would rather avoid this if possible. I'm currently pursuing the mingw solution. Are the wiki pages up to date? Unfortunately, I need the binaries soon, otherwise I would just wait for official builds (assuming the patch is accepted). I can also give the webservice that I wrote, but it requires an Omniture account, so I doubt it will be of much interest. Anyhow, thanks for the great game and any information/pointers that you can provide. -Ivan P.S. I tried sending this email twice before but it got swallowed somewhere along the way.
