Thanks

Thanks, but knew most of this already (except for the subspace specific stuff). The thing I am most intrested in is, ships are just squares in subspace? Are they 32x32 pixels?

I am writing a subspace clone in javascript/canvas. I am at the point that I can fly around any .lvl file. I implemented collisions by just using rectangles. Every tile is a rectangle and the player is a rectangle, but it doesn't feel the same as in continuum. Someone knows how continuum does collision detection?

Are you going to release the biller compiled or release the source as well? I would be interested in compiling and using it on my linux machine. Source probably, the basic version is done. No squad etc yet. Atm I am working on a project for my university course so it will take a while before I can continue my work.

It's not complex, but don't confuse complex with hard. It's a large project, and completing a large project as a hobby is a monumental undertaking. I'd wager than more than 50% of the developers in this game (and the actual number is probably closer to 90%) have given it a shot at one point or another. Yet no one has actually finished one (unless you count PriitK). Well I have time , the only problem is keeping the motivation... Anyway, was PriitK a developer for VIE? If not how did he wrote the client because I can't remember VIE releasing documentation about their software.

Ty for the response . Started writing the tcp protocol since its better documented. User login/registration is working atm. Its strange no1 rewrote the client in all those years. It doesn't seem that hard.

When writing a biller, should I support udp or tcp? Iirc subgame only supports udp and asss supports tcp. Does asss supports udp? For the people who are intrested, I am going to write it in go and another implementation in haskell. Btw what happened to subspace? Almost no1 plays it anymore :s. I remember having like 600 people in trench and 200 in dsb...
