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

I don't remember if anyone ever published, or if we ever found, the official censored word list for ZH chat. It turns out the filtering was not performed on the server, and the wordlist was included in the source. The data is trivially obfuscated by Xor'ing each two-byte character with 0x5555. There are 1358 entries, including, of course, turdburglar.
If anyone was wondering, ASSYNIPPLES is my favorite discovery so far.

Also, there's a guy that has already made a lot of progress getting the game to build on modern Windows and Linux. I'm trying to follow along and see if there's anything I can pick up and fix, but it's.. a lot.

Exciting times. The game starts, but crashes soon after.
