I have a feeling that it's not so much whether he wants to (who wouldn't, really, given the fan following so many years down the line?) but whether the corporate lawyers who own the intellectual property now wouldn't have a fit at the very prospect (odds are good they'll sue you for even bringing it up)Gambit37 wrote:I wonder if we asked nicely, he'd give us the source code?

I have a lot of the former already (knowledge). I've conducted extensive interviews with Doug and some of the rest of the team, which is what will be on my site (coming soon! )
I don't think he would release the latter (code) -- as far as I can tell, Wayne still owns the copyright on all that and doesn't want it released.

Well if I was him, I wouldn't feel like releasing either, BUT all he can do with it is chitchatting with all the variables and functions. It is neither sellable nor usable in the general meaning. He prolly isn't interested in gaming industry anymore anyway. Why not make some very dedicated people happy?
ooh run your site now Gambit, even if it`s not made in 100 %! tomorrow there could be end of the world so noone would visit it !my site coming soon!

I mean, he didn`t wrote that for nothing. I guess it was something like a proposition "You can get the source code if you are interested".I just found this site (link from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ ), and since I now program almost exclusively in Java, was interested to check it out. I haven't looked at the Java version of DM, but I may be the only person in the world that still has the original C and assembly source code.
