Making Development More Accessible

Post by munch »

Hi Guys,

I'm wanting to help you out with the AI writing, but I just read in http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1200

That you need MS VS 2003 .Net to be able to build the thing. This is bad news since I don't have VS at home and I'm certainly not going to spend time at work developing this.

Two ways we can get round this:

a) I could write my own AI API, which you guys would need to support. I can ship code to you for you to integrate.

b) Don't I remember seeing that you guys have a "donations" link somewhere? If you've received any cash, I wouldn't complain if you were to shell out for an MS VS studio license for me =)

I guess the attractiveness of the latter option depends partly on whether you need the whole of VS or whether you can get away with just C++ Studio, which is almost a tenth of the price (£65 ish).

I can't believe I'm volunteering to have MS software installed on my computer - I must be nuts =)

Cheers

There is a free version vs2003 on the ms site. Only without ide etc.

There are also ppl that have created make files for other compilers.

Hi there, thanks for the reply. LOL Visual Studio without the visual bit.

I couldn't find these on the MS website. I did find a free 60 day trial page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/produ ... fault.aspx

Which could be enough to get started at least, but two months is going to go real quick I think!

Has anybody got a link for the command line tools?

Thanks in advance
