    yeah but it's a lot of gatekeeping. he says he's not going to put the source up.
    and also, pretty sure rick parrish had it so you can compile it for linux many years ago. nobody was interested
    in renegade.

    anyways, if people want to pretend they are programmers by using ai, can't stop them.

    I'm using it to make a new version of illusion aka telegard. i'm not stamping my name on it and calling myself the developer. and everything's going on github where they can take it and change it.
