I downloaded C++BuilderX today from http://www.borland.com today on Marrow's advise and what a ripper of a program! (aussie slang for good program)

After half an hour of installing and then starting a new project and selecting "import from configure file" , selecting config.in from a previously installed version of armagetron 2.6 source. I managed to get to debugging inline. (getting debugging working was a bit strange). This means I'll be able to improve the game on linux easily (no real experience developing on linux and I certainly had no idea about how to do use gdb)

What it means is, I should be able (and for that matter anybody else who does this) to easily follow execution from the main() directory to whatever functions it calls and step into it.

mmmm what should i do though lol

That's great, subby. Gotta love debuggers! Just gotta hate doing it...

subby, you can step right into the network code anytime and try and figure out how it works
