This just in: EA decided to release the source code for many of their C&C games, including G and ZH. We could make our own bugfixes! But they're not accepting pull requests so it'd just be for our own personal builds.

Arif, do you feel like taking a crack at getting this to build in a modern IDE? The README has some instructions covering how:

> If you wish to compile the code under a modern version of Microsoft Visual Studio, you can convert the legacy project file to a modern MSVC solution by opening rts.dsw in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, and then opening the newly created project and solution file in MSVC 2015 or newer.

But I suspect the whole undertaking would be easier said than done.

I just came to post this too, news travels fast when it's g related

What if someone fixed game mismatch wouldn't that be crazy but then some of the mystery and tension would be gone

Same, I just purchased G (maybe for the third time) through steam. Not sure if the steam version of ZH would be more stable. I’m game to play any night though. A good 8:30-10pm game would work.

I haven't made the time to download the source. Most of my spare time has been spent playing minecraft or chess, but I'll give it a whirl one of these evenings.

I’ve been learning backgammon. I thought , it’s just dice rolling and probability how hard could it be to be decent? Hard AF apparently
