Hard time with windows

[Jello_pudding]

I find it vary hard to compile script bots with cmake, it keeps giving me an error that I don't know how to solve. I'm going to try Linux Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and see if that will cooperate with me.

Hello,

I am working on a fix still, hopefully a new test version will be available soon. Stay tuned!

Hello, Julian

This may be a bit off topic,(and I hate to bud in like this) but since the latest release scriptbots will no longer compile on linux. After doing a bit of research (though I could be wrong) it appears that the new GUI is the culprit. I hate to be so bold asking such a question, but would you consider rewriting your version to use a gui library that is known to be compatible with both windows and linux?

Qt looks like it would be a good choice. It has windows, linux, and mac version. I haven't used Qt much myself so my best advise is to search youtube and the web for tutorials.

I only ask this because I have a few ideas I wanted to try and implement. I mostly want to look into optimisation. The current sim is running at O(n^2) which is why the sim slows to a crawl when lots of bots are on screen. Speeding it up will hopefully make a great simulation even greater. I considered forking it but it is pretty hard when the project won't compile on your system. And I would hate to go back to the previous version and miss out on all the awesome stuff you have added.

Hello Nick,

When I was looking around for gui's, I wanted one that would be easy to implement, multi-platform compatible, and cooperative with OpenGL. It appears that GLUI is neither of those first two things, but I want to first make sure it's not an issue with forgetting something rather than an incompatibility. I shall look into Qt and if it appears easy to implement, I shall replace GLUI with it. Thank you for your suggestion, and it is definitely on topic.

Hello,

I did find this, hopefully it is useful: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/examples-opengl.html

That website also has quite a bit of documentation from the look of it.
