How long did it take the 2nd time?

Given a good understanding of the original source as well as the C++ source provided by Chojun plus a firm grasp of C# (and a good design) its possible to have a working engine in a short amount of time. From my understanding C# falls somewhere between C++/Java and Visual Basic in how the code is written and operates.Seismo wrote:I am still working on the c# version. I was under heavy load to finalize my engine all belongs to, now i implement the logic. It is sad, i can not use any line of orginal WZ sourcecode due to its old style. I have to code all new. I use the WZ code only to understand some specific parts like the game internal rules. For a first draft i would like to use the models and textures from orginal, but than i would have a dilemma, i do not want to share my engines source code... So SF seems to be not the best platform for this project and i need new graphic objects too. Oh man, still so many things to do...vexed wrote:FWIW, last I heard, Chojun's code was given to Seismo who is working on a C# version.
While they both have project pages on SF, neither of them have anything in the repo.
