Matthias.


I have looked at this engine source. I know how to program and I am almost sure it is the reverse engineered product of some other engine.

No programmer sane of mind could have ever written something like that: function factoring is horrid, variable names is misleading when not even wrong most of the times, data structures have many fields named as numeric constants (_5, _6, etc.. this is a clear sign that the "author" was not able to identify the correct meaning of the original field and so was forced to use a placeholder instead), coding style is non existing to say the least, and I could continue.

Just to make it clear for non programmers out there is like you read a Shakespeare poem full of grammatical errors and with some dumb and trivial line here and there: you can understand you are reading a very high quality material, but you also can clearly understand that this is not the original but a trivially translated copy.


Are you looking at the code of ippolit, or the code of robbolite?
