Of course. Currently, there's the main branch in CVS, containing the
0.3.2 code (with a few minor changes) and the Branch_road_to_0-4 branch,
which contains all the new code. As far as the map engine and input
system is concerned, most of the main branch is obsolete and will be
replaced later on.

You should be able to test some of the 0.4 code with this data:
http://www.gnurou.org/adonthell-stuff/alextest.tgz

It needs to be extracted inside the src directory.


A last note on items: the 0.3 code contained a beginning of
inventory/item code, but we found that it wasn't generic enough. There's
a new approach in the 0.4 branch, in src/tools/combat. Not sure if it is
any good, though. But at least it is a start.


That were the most important things concerning the code, I think. If you
have any further questions, feel free to ask!
