Source

This is where source code doumentation will go, as soon as James has time to write some.

Getting the Source

The best way to get the source code is with subversion. If for some reason, you can't install a subversion client on your computer, the next best thing is to download the latest nightly source zip file

Compiling the Source

• Getting Quickbasic
• Compiling in Windows 9x
• Compiling in Windows XP
• Compiling in Real DOS
• Compiling in DOSBox

Submitting Improvements

If you fix bugs, or make improvements, you can submit your fixes to be incorporated into the official version. If you downloaded the source code using subversion, it is easy to make a patch containing your changes. To create a patch, type the command:

 svn diff > patch_file_name.txt

If you have been making changes to many different files, but only want your changes to one specific file to be included in the patch, you can specify the filename:

 svn diff game.bas > patch_file_name.txt

Then log in to bugzilla at http://HamsterRepublic.com/bugzilla/ and create a new bug that describes what your patch does, and attach the patch file to the bug.

Distributing your own version

• GPL compliance
• guidelines for forking
• maintaining compatability
