In Response To: You get what you pay for (Steve Levinson)

: The bottom line is that AO is open source and strictly the work of a very
: limited number of developers who do this in their spare time as a hobby.
: It's a lot of work and a labor of love, but you're not going to see much
: beyond what has already been done. It's been - what - nearly a year since
: Mark Levin submitted his code for a bunch of bug fixes and enhancements
: that still haven't made it into the main build of AO. What you ask for
: is not unreasonable. The balconies and bridges code has not only been
: demonstrated, but implemented. It really rocked, but it was one man's
: dream and he had to give up on it when it became all consuming of his
: time. He still has a website devoted to the code - at least he did last
: time I checked - complete with instructions on how to implement it and
: what remains to be done to make it fully functional.

I'd love for Aleph to have Inio and Mark's changes added in, but they both had the same problems. Neither of them kept their edits up to date with the main A0 development, so their patches were against versions several months old and it was an impossible task to keep them up. I added what I could easily get in (purging unused OpenGL textures from Inio; external sounds and tutorial levels have been added from Mark), but the rest needed much more time than I could give them. Their other problem was being developed entirely against Carbon with no attention paid to SDL, and the SDL port is just as important (if not even more) to Aleph.

If someone wanted to add more stuff to Aleph and could provide a working patch against the latest CVS, I'd happily add it. If you asked you'd probably even get your own branch in CVS to work on it.
