Break²: DFArc2

Item posted by Sylvain Beucler <Beuc> on Sun 13 Jan 2008 10:19:50 PM UTC.

There's no good Dink implementation without a Front-End :)

While the original code used wxWidgets, it was actually long to make it compile, due to Woe-specific code and lots of unresolved Unicode issues (initial version was probably an ASCII build).

Working on the front-end raised interesting questions about FreeDink standard data paths and how third-party tools can use it. In particular lots of directories are better named "dink" rather of the "freedink", unless there are truly specific to FreeDink.
