Hei Dischi what is the actual state of 2.0 ? I wrote/patched allready some plugins for 1.x, and my impression is that to start with coding is very easy in the beginning (after understanding the plugin methods like eventhandler/draw/poll) but becomes very hard if you try to use informations from other parts of the software... what I mean is, I miss an easy architecture design, data flows and so on. how is this in 2.0?
what kind of help do you need? is there a point of start somewhere? well, my time is limited in the moment but could become better after sommer... Andreas Am Donnerstag, 19.
