Restructure update

[AnonymousHero]

Just for the stats freaks out there. As of now diffstat between restruct and master says:

412 files changed, 85994 insertions(+), 145252 deletions(-)

(The insertions/deletions stats are counting lines.)

So we're winning by 60000 lines

For those curious, is it possible to view the restructure branch?

It stopped several months ago because it's thorny and my free time got restricted. I still want to work on it but I'm struggling to find the time because the easiest way to progress would be to start a new frontend (like NPP is doing) and refactor the main code as I go to allow that to work. That's a huge task, though! And I'd need a block of time to work on it solidly to make any real progress, which I don't have.

I thought the answer was no because of a comment on roguelike radio saying the dev branches were secret so that people didnt complain about changes not done yet...

anyways... Cool!

People will complain with or without actual knowledge of details.

Probably nothing quite so precise as a roadmap

We have broad aims of making the code more readable, more general and more easily modifiable; all of these with a view of making it easier to make gameplay changes when the time comes.

Given that, I think it's just a matter of looking at a bit of the code you're interested in, and see if it can be improved along those general lines. Stuff gets discussed a bit in the #angband-dev channel on irc.freenode.net, or you can just fork the restruct branch on github and make pull requests.

Same goes for anyone who can abide my brutal and autocratic management style.

How save files are working in current version ?
It refuses to save and I cannot fix it yet.

Not that bad, it works if I manually create ~/angband/Angaband/save
Seems like bug to me.
