|
|
A very special thanks is due to the following people and groups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: as hard as we've tried, it is impossible to perfectly maintain
|
|
|
|
|
this file. If you are aware of someone who you think should be
|
|
|
|
|
included here, PLEASE let me know. Projects like this are made
|
|
|
|
|
possible only by the help and hard work of others. I want to properly
|
|
|
|
|
credit everyone who has contributed to this project.

Raul Alonzo <amil@las.es>

|
|
|
|
Mr. Alonzo is the author of Ssystem and provided his kind permission
|
|
|
|
|
for using the moon texture. I also used parts of his code as a template
|
|
|
|
|
when adding the texture. Ssystem Homepage can be found at:

Paul Bleisch <pbleisch@acm.org>
|
|
|
|
|
Paul redid the "debug" system so that it would be much more flexible,
|
|
|
|
|
so it could be easily disabled for production system, and so that
|
|
|
|
|
messages for certain subsystems could be selectively enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
Also contributed a first stab at a config file/command line parsing
|
|
|
|
|
system.

STL portability, tons o' stuff. :-)

Gene Buckle <geneb@deltasoft.com>
|
|
|
|
|
Gene has done a lot of work getting FG to compile with the MSVC++
|
|
|
|
|
compiler. Also, he has pushed, proded, and bugged me endlessly to
|
|
|
|
|
do my stuff right. (I mean that in a good way, because sometimes
|
|
|
|
|
when the little nudge in the right direction isn't working, I need
|
|
|
|
|
a good hard shove.) :-)

also contributed <bob@me.umn.edu>. Further details available at:

Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@games.no>
|
|
|
|
|
Incorporated the Gnu automake/autoconf system (with libtool).
|
|
|
|
|
This should streamline and standardize the build process for all
|
|
|
|
|
Unix-like platforms. It should have little effect on IDE type
|
|
|
|
|
environments since the don't use the Unix make system.

Moon has correct phase and blends well into the sky.
|
|
|
|
|
Planets are correctly positioned and have proper magnitude.

how to link with .dll's. With out him the first runable win32
