Server Help

[monkey]

I started working on a drop-in Continuum replacement client about 5 weeks ago. I'm only working on this for fun, so I might randomly abandon it. I decided to post about it here so it's archived for anyone who decides to make another client in the future.

It implements Continuum encryption by using an external key expansion solver that will eventually be turned into an oracle service like snrrrub did for Starlight. I'm not releasing the generator and I haven't setup the server yet, so this client is pretty useless for anyone else at the moment, unless they have their own oracle or use server scrty1 file.

It's implemented in C++ and uses OpenGL 3.3 for rendering. I wrote the code in a way that makes it easy for me to update, so it's not exactly the cleanest or bug-free. I decided to use floats and variable update rate, so it won't be exactly the same simulation as Continuum. I have it compiling on Windows and Linux.
