I don't disagree. Fortran is brilliant at what it does.... but I find many of its object oriented features to be very obtuse compared to C and C++. The way it uses pointers drives …

I find the requirement for an active Github account to be questionable. 99% of the code I write is owned my someone else. I do after all work for a living. I wonder how true this i…

I agree with you in as far as it makes a great multiplayer element. In the vs the computer game it is a bit of a crapshoot though. Working with different world leaders is not somet…

You are probably one of the few. But I wouldn't buy too much into the argument that their rates have to go up. Internet speeds are higher and congestion are lower in many other cou…

I am almost certain it wasn't included for some reason like that. I also suspect that they were using an outmoded version of fortran. Clicking the extra links would tend to validat…

That is if we accept the assumption that this was well written modern fortran code. Since they don't actually show the fortran it is hard to say. I looked through the referenced po…
