Rewriting the game engine. (Plz read developers ect.)

[mand1nga]

Well you should know that C++ isn't more powerful than C, nor the other way round. You can achieve exactly the same goals with both languages, or assembler, or Java, or C#, or whatever. Of course not always using the same hardware
Before wasting time choosing a programming language you should think about what you really want to do.

would the game run properly if it was c and c++ mixed?

What makes you think that the game isn't running properly?

Maybe you noticed that Nexuiz is currently developed in Quake C. Probably you are confusing a little game and engine. And you should know there are other Quake C interpreters (like Darkplaces) written in other languages.
I suggest to you making a little more research before going to waste entire years reinventing the wheel

well, dont talk about Assembler - that's a whole different class of things.

[tZork]

here's my 5.

Nexuiz is not c, not c+, not cobol etc. nexuiz is gamecode and art/assets. gamecode is currently in quakec.

imo converting something from x to y serve no purpose unless there's something you wish to do that cant be done or you cant do in the current form.

if your going to do it anyway, just do it or at last have something to show for. this endless discussion of b"ananas are better then apples!" are getting so old.

Hello everybody.

Honestly, I think that OO code is much better than procedural, but it's bad to waste a time to rewriting whole engine (and how much time you will spend to debugging result code) - and there must be giant list of "vacancies" in engine's programming (but I voted for C++).

forget rewriting it....


im not saying nexuiz dosent work properly

im asking will it work properly if i include c++ code....

[Alien]

Most often yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibil ... nd_C%2B%2B

A lot of things will depend on the compiler and how it allows to mix possibly incompatible c/c++ code (e.g. you can compile darkplaces c code using ms visualc++ (which is notorious for not following standards), but that does not mean that you could compile same code using g++ or intel compiler).

My suggestion is to try to compile and check if it works (most often it would).

[tehbomb]

thank you .... i will try

[Slav]

I tried to compile Nexuiz with g++ (MinGW) - it did NOT worked
But already compiled .o-files (with gcc) could be linked properly with g++.
So it's possibly to compile .c-files with gcc, c++ with g++ and then link it - that's how I will do.
