Dynamically linking libraries are very easy with linux. See man pages for dlopen, dlsym, and dlclose. That should get you started. There's even some examples to copy from. Once you put the highly mutable portions of your game into a separate library it becomes relatively easy to swap out functionality at runtime. ~Kender ===== -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version 3.1 GCS/L/C/O d-(+) s++: a-- C+++$>++++ UBLS++++$ P+++(--)$ L+++>++++ E--- W+>++$ N !o K? w(--) !O M- !V PS+ PE(++) Y+ PGP->+ t+ 5 X+() R(+) tv+@ b++(+++) !DI+++ D G(-) e>+++$ h---() r+++ y+++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
