[Bug-gnubg] GNUbg 1.05.000 and dependencies for downstream maintainers

Howdy, The new 1.05.000 version of GNUbg has an optional (but highly used feature) that requires a new dependency. We have used random.org as a source of input to GNUbg. This broke at the beginning of the year when that site went to HTTPS over HTTP. In order to support this feature going forward

Howdy All, I have tagged 1.03.001 in CVS (revision control). This is an official release of the sources however I won't be building binaries from it unless it is requested. This release caters to those environments/distros that may wish to start catering to Python 3. Python3 is now supported at

[Bug-gnubg] GNUBG / GNU Coding Standards - C and or C++ - feedback wanted

To date, I have not been a coder in the GnuBg project, so you should take my input with a grain of salt. Having said that, I must also confess that the one time I looked through some of the GnuBg source code, I was shocked to see that it was coded in C instead of C++. While it is true

Re: [Bug-gnubg] GNUBG / GNU Coding Standards - C and or C++ - feedback wanted

I'm not sure this comment actually means that we should prefer a programming language over an other. As Steve McConnell says in Code Complete 2: Program into your language. Not in it! By this he mean abstraction to data types. What the GNU Backgammon code is missing is real abstraction of

Howdy All, Last July Richard Stallman made one significant change to the GNU Coding Standard so that it no longer prefer C to other such languages. This was a significant departure from the original coding standard which preferred C over other languages, and chided C++ in particular. The latest

Re: [Bug-gnubg] GNUBG / GNU Coding Standards - C and or C++ - feedback wanted

Hi! I must admit that I'm not a big fan of C++ but at least it does not make me sick (like Perl does). I usually have problems seeing what you can gain from using C++ over C? + you get better abstraction with C++. + you get templates which may simplify some things. + you get operator
