I'm not sure if anyone else has replied to you yet, so I will quickly reply to give a few pointers?</div><div><br></div><div>Take a look around the <a href="http://crosswire.org/wiki/Main_Page">http://crosswire.org/wiki/Main_Page</a> wiki, specifically the top right section on Development Tools. That talks about the SWORD engine & the code to do with it. You'll see the page on Tutorial:Compiling & Installing SWORD & it has download instructions from SVN & stuff.</div><div><br></div><div>Use of an IDE is a personal preference. If you're on Windows, some ppl use some IDE that I have no idea about. My experience of compiling and playing has been Mac only for the last 10 or so years, altho I used to play around with the code prior to that on Debian, but don't ask me any questions about it! my memory isn't that good... :P</div><div><br></div><div>Hopefully that gives you a start? Perhaps have a look at swmgr.h and start there? Actually, a better place would be after you have downloaded the source, take a look in the examples folder. That will give you a quick intro to what does what, and to some things you can do. :)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I hope that helps? Thanks, ybic</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>nic... :)</div><br>
