Mine uses 100% Javascript (and it's not overly slow, either). Dunno what LeiT's uses, but might be LibFS. Sherlock

And then there's ConstB "original" one... Wink

Hehe, i try to tell how i see it. You confuse "race wizard" (part of UI) with "rw points calc" (an algorithm)? Sherlock

1) ConstB reverse engineered original rw point calculation from stars!. I trust it is reverse engineered well. So it works.
2) LibFS is mostly LEits implementation. Actually its fascinating how LEit has managed to write so lot of server code basically in blind, with only command line level UI.
3) FreeStars::Race::GetAdvantagePoints in LibFS is LEit's refactoring of ConstB algorithm. Main work is done to use freestars data types and structures.
4) Race wizard is where rest of freestars is at source forge. It implements no "rw points calc" algorithms of its own. Why to reinvent a wheel? Who wants to see it got to get from CVS and to compile. Or to bug Orca, OWK or LEit to release something (i am no admin there).

There are at least 3 different "freestars clients" in sourceforge, but none of these clients does anything. Confused I decided to evaluate vxWidgets in practice (its been around for a while so cant be full crap). In the process of evaluation wxWidgets lib i can also make one of them clients to do few things. Very Happy

Also i chat about it here. Partly out of boredom, partly because its fruitful. Wink For example Coyote made me some race embleme pictures. Actually now ... that RW is slow as Debug version but Release is more or less already. So i turn my attention back to ship and starbase designer now. Very Happy
