Are there any docs or readme's or something that can give me a brief overview of the code so I can try and understand it?

Thanks

Tyreth,
As well as the comments within the code i think this is about all there is in relation to source code documentation. Besides, we dont want too much precious development time spent on documentation :wink:

The coding standards document is still relevant, but the development guide is dreadfully out of date.

This unfortunately sums up the situation pretty well . . . :) I may have time this weekend to write something up, but it's more likely that I'll burn my time implementing multiple cloud laters. We'll see.

Anything would be good - just something that gives a very brief overview of the code so I know where to start :)

The Celestia code is pretty well organized and not very difficult to follow if you know C++. I'd suggest you just dive in. If you're not prepared to do that, I doubt that a general overview would be a lot of help. There's no royal road.

I suppose being familiar with C++ would help...Its pretty easy to follow though I didnt have a hitch some time back looking for what I needed...

Thank God its not asm :mrgreen:
