Best part is that Ethan "flibitijibibo" Lee, a Humble Bundle dev, is soon to be an actve dev.
Arise! Arise from the ashes, ye phoenix! |

OK, re-development has officially started. Linux support is a MUST. Windows support is definite. OSX, probably.
If you are a good c++ coder, or know someone who is, let me know, so I can add you to the development team.
Unless your name is Yannick Delwiche, in which I'll add you as an owner.  |

Sweet!
Thanks for all your work so far. Can't wait to see something emerge from all this! 
Feel free to add MTYannick to the project.  I can provide logos, etc. |

Done!
Best part? Mr. Flib is a sound engineer, working to build his own sound engine. Maybe he can get some pointers from you.
And he knows C++. |

I'm excited, too.
Here's the guy you need to follow: http://twitter.com/flibitijibibo. He's busy with a few other games, but he's working on it.
Biggest two hassles right now? There's a couple files still sitting on windows.h dependencies, which we need to add GTK dependencies, and there are some files that have clashing constants.
Two rules about constants: Don't define several without undefining or ifdef-ing, and if they are going to have a value, don't initialize it one line and then set a value the next.
We are going to need to make it more standards-compliant. But do expect MT3 within a few months, even if it is not complete.
Oh, Yannick, the main "MadTracker-FOSS" logo uses Gravatar, so.... |

Whoa! 65K lines of code! 
Definitely going to be awesome when it works. |

And progress is happening!
Couple questions Flib has, and they're in the Issues section on the GitHub page.
MT3 by end of Dec. '12? Probably not. MT3 by end of Jan. '13? More than likely. |

OK, quick question, Yan:
Was the MT3 folder the main executable, and the other folders the .mtx files? |

We think we figured it out, based off of the beta app.
Unoficially, we have a working executable. Feel free to compile it. "make mt3".
It isn't complete, as the other stuff is acting weird. |

Fascinating. Keep up with a good work. I am reading and waiting to see something soon. |

Thanks!
Well, I don't know HOW soon it will be, as Flib's bill-payer is porting apps to Linux and OSX. So, this will be completely out of his own pocket to develop on. Unless he can get donators, that is. (which I recommend doing!)
However, the two biggest challenges will be converting Win32-specific code to cross-platform code, and converting the assembler to C. There's some stuff that compile perfectly as executables, but not as libs.
The biggest problem Flib has with ASM is, "While it's fast, we can't keep on porting it to every compiler and architecture known to man".
If you want to give support, let me know.
Oh, Yan, could you help us out with a few questions some time soon? |

my only wish would be that WIN98SE (on a Pentium 4 at 3GHz single core system) would be supported too. And of course with multiple audio outs and MIDI output ports as the predecessor.
My support would be:
** making music for relief against the christmas stress
** I know Intel assembler, so I can make later some optimizing for certain bottleneck routines if needed for some specific platforms when something is already functioning and only CPU load or something is a concern. |

^Send me your GitHub name, and I can add you to the dev team.
And, yes, we're pushing support for all processors and operating systems. (no guarantees for iOS and Android, yet. That would require a total code conversion.)
Seriously, though, MadTracker on a Linux tablet.... ooooooooo....... |
