Orxonox

As far as I'm informed, the boost libraries are quite lpowerful.
They might help in more than just the multithreading section. For instance, the visual studio declares the f_open command as 'outdated, insecure', and complains with a warning. The boost libraries have safe and platform independant libraries for file operations.

And there seem to be a lot more things to discover.

I write this merely as a reminder that we don't always have to reinvent the wheel entirely when it comes down to basic coding.

I just ran across spirit, a parser generator.
http://www.boost.org/libs/spirit/doc/quick_start.html

It very much reminds me of regular expression, but i think it can do more than regex when it comes down to storing the information. For instace the vector parser would have been quite easy with spirit.

EDIT: Or something extremely useful: Octonions. What the heck??? I have no idea and I am a 100% sure that we'll never use them in orxonox . But apparently, physicists can make use of them...

It even supports Linear Algebra
