I’ll be more than glad to answer question(s) if and when you have them.
Open-ended questions — e.g., asking for general feedback or guidance — are not
productive uses of time in this context. Like I said below: download the code,
compile, ask smart questions… Basically, do your homework first. Do that, and
you should have plenty of good well-researched questions you can ask.
There are far too many variables for anyone to guess.
Cheers!
