Welcome to the C++ port ;)

Numsgil:
C++ isn't terribly difficult if you know a language already.

I'd recommend C for Dummies to people who don't know how to program...

If you already know quite a few things you can probably pick it up in a tutorial somewhere.

I'll be avoiding the more complex C++ features, like templates, like the plague ;)

Starting off clean with C++? Is that what you're doing, Nums. I thought you were just porting all this buggy stuff over.  :bash:  :P

PurpleYouko:
SPlit this out of the bug reports forum as it was getting off topic.

Numsgil:
It's not like I can just pick and choose what to port.

VB doesn't interface well with other languages.  Originally I was just going to port the engine over and keep the GUI interface in VB, but then I got wolfhound, and he's managed to put together a rather good GUI (still in progress) in a cross-platform library.

So by moving everything from VB to a cross platform library and language, I can make it:

1.  Faster (initial estimates have 60-70% speed increase ;))
2.  A Mac and Linux version!
3.  More detailed graphics (OpenGL kicks butt ;))

To name a few...
