I've looked around but i cant find where to get the source code for windows...

I just want to look it over and see how much i understand (I'd like to do this without cvs and whatnot..)

There is no completely different source for each platform. It's mostly the same, with a few platform-specific files and some #defines. Grab the source from the SF project or from CVS for more recent code.

Depends on your favorite version and packaging.

Err i get any windows one, but i dont see source code attached to it? how do you access it might be a mroe appropriate question...

If you want the source, why do you download a Windows binary?

TiTnAsS · Post by **TiTnAsS** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 6:09 am

Because I don't know where and how to get it...im newb with this remember?

just a plain and simple awnser would suffice

The plain and simple answer is on the project and download pages.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/armagetronad/ as usual at SF.

And then http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=123372
to the source package. Pick the .zip file, the tarballs use Unix end of line markers that Notepad does not understand. But I'll have to note that the project files are not in there (probably I'll fix that for the second beta), so no matter what, if you want to compile it, you need CVS.

TnA: it's clear that source=source~=src, right?

WordPad (at least in XP) can handle them.

So can Programmer's Notepad, and it does syntax highlighting.

Still, having to untar the tarballs in Windows isn't very straightforward, and I wouldn't suggest WinZip since it's proprietary. But then, I wouldn't suggest Windows for the same reason.

I use Tortiose to pull the sources out of the CVS directly to my windows box.

Speaking of which, it's been a few weeks since I've checked for new code. Better do that

lol
