Hey guys

I was wondering if Don and Andy, or anyone else for that matter, have considered rebuilding the game from scratch.

Is there technical or legal reasons preventing that? I figure it would be a bit more work to begin with (that being a gross understatement, of course), but would also allow you to make changes without having to worry about what is hard-coded and what isn't, which would save a lot of time in the long haul, especially if it could be built from the ground up to facilitate easy editing of code.

I once asked the same question and hereīs Donīs answer:

Short answer: A new code wouldnīt be steel panthers any more and thereīs been a lot of work done on this code that they canīt just throw it by the window.

Keep Cool
Roberto
