Monthly Review - February 2004

[Wijitmaker]

The following are the outstanding accomplishments by the 0 A.D. Staff Members for the month of February.

Alan Kemp (Alan): For the many hours he put into developing an AI sim testbed, including pathfinder, entity system, and embedded Javascript host.

Michael Reiland (mreiland) & Simon Brenner (olsner): For their hard work on researching and developing the error-handling foundation, including SmartPointers, queueing and threading.

Even though we don't usually make mention of the accomplishments of Department Heads, I thought it would be appropriate to mention these men:

Stuart Walpole (Acumen): For doing the work of three men. He did some excellent work in updating the website's FAQ, updates to the Design Document, and spent many hours toiling as the Manager of the Programming Department.

Ken Wood (Phoenix_TheRealDeal): For excellent research in the flora, non-flora, and fauna gaia objects in the ancient world.

Bobby Ognyanov (CheeZy): For great advancements in the Scenario/Map/Object editor design document. Nearly completing it, and gathering some excellent ideas that will hopefully make our editor both powerful and intuitive.

Dave Loeser (Dak Lozar): For the great improvements he has made to the Programming Department since coming aboard as our new Lead Programmer. This included establishing revamped coding conventions and preliminary development of an advanced code review procedure (including CVS branches with Mark Thompson, and a revamped task system). Also for his willingness to help out wherever necessary, from researching and testing third-party audio libraries to picking up the reins on the error framework.
