qt5 VS OpenXcom

So, clearly with your AP CS class and PLC logic knowledge, if you were dumped into a codebase like Hadoop, QT, or TensorFlow you'd be able to quickly and competently analyze what is going on with that code, understand all the libraries used, know the reasons why certain compromises were made, and be able to make suggestions on how to restructure the code in a different way? Because I've been programming for coming up on two decades and unless a system is within the domains that I have experience in, I would not be able to provide any useful information without a massive onboarding timeline, and definitely wouldn't be able to help redesign anything until actually coding within the system for a significant amount of time.

QT for example is more than sixteen thousand lines of code, developed by almost 100 contributors. This is the closest analog to what you would be trying to make.

The branches on https://github.com/qt/qt5/tree/5.15.2 only seem to show a maximum version of 5.15.2. I have also seen 5.15.9 somewhere, but no idea where to get it (or was it 5.14.9 and I am mistaken).

Have you ever tried contributing to Qt? I rather liked their use of submodules. https://github.com/qt/qt5

OpenXCOM - XCOM clone. C++, SDL2

Love(ed) that game.

Always wonder where they get their "recruits", who seem to have trouble with aiming their weapons towards the enemy.

There's an open-source & cross platform remake of the engine. You still need the original game assets.

Easy to mod - he config files are YAML.

(Before I say anything I just want to say that I've only played TFTD on beginner. I don't know if this works on the harder difficulties, but I feel like the strategy is relatively sound. Please don't take my word as gospel lol. Also, PLEASE USE OPENXCOM! It's a lifesaver.)

If you want to go for that ride I highly recommend to buy the game and install OpenXCom which comes with full compability on modern systems and QoL improvements and a ton of mods and bugfixes (note you need a copy of the original to play openxcom as it uses the sprites, music etc.): https://openxcom.org/

X-Com was just so hard, and I kept naming all my soldiers various family and friend names ... and boy did they die a lot. I still go back and play it randomly to this day, thanks to the https://openxcom.org project 🤘🤘🤘

Are you talking about this? That's a homage to the original X-COM games, not the two revived XCOM games (Enemy Unknown and 2).

With the amount of streams I have with modded openxcom, I'm pretty sure I'm already addicted to it.

Til dem der ikke er færdig med at spille UFO: Enemy Unknown, så er der ret meget at hente i OpenXcom. Spil var bare bedre dengang.

Good old one :) https://openxcom.org/
