Dear fellow developers and players, my beloved friends,


I am sorry, but I have to announce that I will retire from Hedgewars as developer, as admin, as player and as active community member by the end of this week.

Although this is a decision that I had to make myself (it wasn't easy believe me... and it took me many months), I had no choice to decide different.

Since, sadly, this seems to be the only right and responsible choice for the situation I'm currently in.


So yes, I'm leaving... with a heavy heart, hoping that our paths may cross again sooner or later.

I want you to know that the years with you guys have been wonderful.
Years in which I met many nice and impressive people.
Years which brought me much joy and comfort.
Years which warmed my heart and broadened my horizons.

Also ... I owe you guys way more than I could express and I'm ashamed that I have to turn away from you like this, leaving so many unfinished things behind.


Maybe the day will come when I'll be able to return ... but unfortunately that day won't be any soon.


Best wishes to you all,
I will miss you.

Yours truly,
sheepluva

Enjoy a preview screenshot of the upcoming cave theme.

This theme was drawn and created by Guillaume Englert <3.

EDIT: I reuploaded the screenie again since the imageshack server the pic was on seems to experience technical difficulties atm.

In the next release of Hedgewars the Training/Mission screen(s) will get a new look so that they don't look so terribly empty, boring and quickly/cheapy done anymore.

Hey guys!

I've been playing around with nick sorting recently.
This is the current result.
(It already is in the Hedgewars code repository and will be in the next version of Hedgewars, if nobody changes it :P)

Features

• case-insensitive, means: A-Z won't go above a-z anymore.
• special characters are always below A-z
• friends are always on top of the list
• ignored nicks are always on the bottom

Any thoughts on this?

PS:
For the screenshot I RANDOMLY added nicks as friends or ignored them, on my testing account.
I do not even know those people (except myself, maybe)!

I think he did a good job seeing it's his first Hedgewars video ever and that he only had limited time :D
(Also he got tricked into making it... muwahahah xD)

Enjoy! :D
