Congratulations, Norman.
Norman has the Windows equivalent of the midas touch. I'm glad you appreciate his efforts, but by the time he is done, the source is cluttered with completely unnecessary Windows calls, compilable only with some version of MSVC, and full of Windows structures and other definitions.
In other words, the source becomes useless to a large group of developers.
Any programmer worth his weight in salt can port the code over to linux…
It’s not rocket science...

I never said it was complex, but it is unnecessarily time-consuming.
Turning your statement around: Any programmer worth his weight in salt can make modifications without introducing new dependencies.
By the time I extricate all the Windows stuff and MSVC stuff so I can compile it, I may as well have implemented whatever feature I wanted from his updates into my own fork myself.

What porting do you need to do? It compiled just fine for me. It has a couple of serious bugs that make it crash often enough to be an issue. But it compiles and runs just fine on my linux box, or at least it did when I tested it a bit a while back.

RobboLito for Windows does not crash.
Or maybe it does after 20000 games.
There are three people talking about three different things, Norman clones (Windows stuff), Ippolit (Bob), and Robbolito (Matthias).

FYI:
It all about the same thing.

Norman did nothing by Robbolito.
Robbolito compile with MinGW with 3 changes.
Other persons adapted source to compile with MSVC.
Norman get it as Toga and Viper and he take all credit again.

I really don't know how to be clearer, Bob. Do me a favor and try to build his latest source. Since you know it worked fine at one point, maybe after you work with the current source you will understand what I'm talking about.
It's like you never read the original post where I said Norman had the Windows equivalent of the Midas Touch.
