And of course, one of the ways Nova should be different from Stars! is by having a very detailed, comprehensive, readable and complete documentation on all its internal workings, not only the hows but also the whys.

The Nova documentation system is in place but not much has been entered yet. It's XHTML based with URLs in the code. Click on the URL in Visual studio and it takes you to the appropriate documentation web page (I'm sorry, but I find these attempts to document complex ideas with ASCII characters in the code rather a waste of time).

For the more complex bits, like the battle engine, you can read the XHTML documentation and click on a link and it will take you to back to the code.

Just some ideas I'm trying out (long way to go before they are perfect) but when I want to see documentation I want proper descriptions and proper diagrams: not ASCII text.

Have a peek and see what you think (you will need Visual Studio Express (free) if you want to use the Nova documentation system).

Early days but I think I'm getting there Smile

Don't let the Stars! fade away.
