Hi all,
An update on the status of the Dreamweb engine:
As you may know, the Dreamweb engine was started as something resembling an x86
emulator, with a file dreamgen.cpp containing asm code automatically converted
by Vladimir's tasm-recover tool to C++ code that uses this x86 emulator.
After a lot of hard work by Vladimir, Bertrand, Filippos, Max and David,
(thanks!) we have moved entirely away from this form, and the Dreamweb
engine is now regular C++ code.
In particular, this means there is no more opaque data blob, no more risk of
side effects of functions hidden in CPU registers, and no more need to
auto-generate certain .cpp files.
A consequence of this rather disruptive process is that there are very likely
regressions. Any help with playtesting Dreamweb to make sure everything still
works would be much appreciated.
-Willem Jan
