OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS:
FEDTERM CLIENT FOR FEDERATION II
This is the source code for version 1.60 of FedTerm, a graphical windows client for ibgames Federation 2 multi-player space trading game.
This version was developed under Borland C++ Builder 5, and no further development is planned for this version, since Borland are in the process of abandoning all those people who have loyally used their tools for many years.
I have included the Borland 5 project, forms and ancillary files in case a version of Builder is still available. The documentation includes information about the protocol used by the Federation 2 server and this version of the FedTerm client to talk to one another.
This version is due to be ported to Visual Studio 2005 and Qt 4.1 in the near future, at which stage source code will be available on request. If you have any questions about the code, mail alan@ibgames.com, putting the word FedTerm somewhere in the subject line, so it doesn't get zapped by my spam filters!
I hope the code will help C++ programmers wanting to write their own clients to understand what is actually happening.
