Xenocide: What a shame...

Ugh. I just looked at the source code for Xenocide, to see what I
could learn from it, and see what I would have the skill to modify/fix.
It seems I'll need to practice more that just the C++ language to do
any of that--it's written in Polish! Just out of curiosity, Jakub, is
there an original Polish version of Xenocide, or did you just write an
English-language game with Polish in the code? But then, that's
probably the case with many foriegn-made English-language programs.

Either way, it's too bad; I would've liked to eventually learn and
practice C++ while (attempting to) help fix up Xenocide.

Yeah, many/most of the function names, variables, and comments were
Polish. I can understand writing/coding in one's own language--it can
be hard to think in terms of another language if you don't think in it
often, and the names of functions/variables represent how one thinks.
I myself would have lots of difficulty thinking "If the héroe
ejercita, then it should entrena his fuerza," while coding, for
example, because I don't commonly speak or think in Spanish. But then,
I'm not even fluent in Spanish!

It's cool that you use English in your English program code--is it easy
for you?

That would kick ass. Maybe I would have the skill necessary to help
out by the time you translate it, if you decide to do it.
