Hmm, merging it back into the main csurf plug-in is probably the best way forward. I wouldn't imagine it would take much work to port it, though... 1 Comment...

I haven't touched it lately; the original CHAVS thing was just a fun "backport our updates to EEL into the original project" sort of thing... Comment...

Question: What impress you most about the legendary John Carmack?
Asked by gio (62.103.65.x) on September 20 2011, 12:51pm
Reply on September 20 2011, 2:17pm:

id in general produced some wonderful games, and Carmack's apparent ability to tackle whatever problems seemed to get in their way was admirable. The fact that they open source their tech after a few generations is a really nice thing, too. Comment...

Hmm I didn't think WinRT is new, but I haven't looked at the win8 stuff other than installing it on virtualbox and being thoroughly annoyed. Comment...

Question: Do you have a test suite for Reaper? If not, how do you keep quality high between releases?
Asked by Rajeet (70.119.11.x) on September 17 2011, 10:47pm
Reply on September 20 2011, 2:07am:

Nothing structured. The main thing is we try to use it a lot for our own projects, and especially spend lots of time testing things we change. The real credit has to go to the people who slurp down the latest builds and test them before release. Comment...
