http://www.microsoft.com/communities/fo ... fault.mspx This is the best place to ask all your questions about programming so it maybe would help fix some of are bugs.

i think the problem with bugs is rather lack of time and proper reporting and not actually the programmer's inability to solve them.

Could be both....

unlikely that with a program like this that a support forum on msdn is likely to help all of the core functions are coded and tested for about 3 years in relation to the directx code anything beyond that is logic / functional errors and you need to know the specific codebase in order to fix.

in regards to the inability most of the code ive seen of mits, he would be able to answer more questions than post

The link could be helpful your into new style C++ thats what I do.

the game is coded in c and c++ already any upgrade to the .net's would require such a signifigant ammount of changes it would probably require a rewrite

now don't get to enthusiastic there mister! if i remember correctly mit doesn't have any plans to give anyone the source code.. though for a nice big fat donation he may give ya the code for the 3d engine. a few months.. if u've been reading u'd know that the game has been in dev for years ..though due to time constraints that figure might be correctish.. but nethertheless...read! reading is good, i like to read mwahahaha.........

hmm, go and update the fighure on the changelog :p

Tssk tssk wrong method.

A nice whisky bottle will do the job better

Why are you even suggesting stealing the codes from mit no one asked for them
