It has been a long time with no posts. I have been busy with other things, but it is time to get this project started back up with a change in focus (more on this shortly). The primary purpose of this project has been a platform for learning. Initially this was to get back into C++, something that I hadn't been using for nearly a decade (I had been using C, but there is quite a different between the two). Along the way git (software revision control) and cmake (cross platform make) was introduced along with the Netbeans development environment.
Speaking of git, the first thing I wanted to accomplish in this restart was to make the git repository for this project public. Sourceforge allows a public SVN (subversion) repository, but I am not familiar with SVN and wasn't really interested in learning SVN since I otherwise wouldn't be using it (I use git extensively for work and have got quite fond of it - for more on git, read the excellent book Pro Git by Scott Chacon). But first, I wanted to clean up the existing git repository before making it public, which I spend the last several weeks working on...
