wrote 14 days ago last edited byThere's a thread on Reddit showcasing some hilarious Code Comments within the Generals Codebase: https://old.reddit.com/r/commandandconquer/comments/1izpkmh/funny_generals_source_code_comments/ Examples: // Assumption: Things with a KINDOF_STRUCTURE flag can never be built from // a factory (ProductionUpdateInterface), because the building can't move // out of the factory. When we do our Starcraft port and have flying Terran // buildings, we'll have to change this
// Remember: To ASSUME makes an ASS out of U and ME.

Oh man. Generals was the last game that me and some friends played on lan together. Many many hours of fun. Sadly those days are long gone.wrote 14 days ago last edited byPlayed hundreds of hours of Generals and Zero Hour, I tried playing it again a year ago but it wasn't working well in windows 11. Making it open source might bring this great game back.

I wonder what this will mean for OpenRA...wrote 14 days ago last edited byOpen RA isn’t doing a reverse engineering project, so they’ll probably just keep working on it. They are doing a full gameplay modernization.
