Great Job, silly question

Wonderful job on ThinkTanks, folks. Very nice.
In fact, it pushed me into buying TGE, which is perhaps the only thing more addictive than ThinkTanks.

So, as a registered paying cutomer for both, I have to ask the obvious question: Is there any way to get any of the Think Tanks source? I'd love to see how you've done some of what you've done.

I completely understand that it's a commercial product and you're unlikely to want to let the source out, but I thought if nothing else you'd take the request as the compliment it is.

Thanks either way,

We don't plan on releasing the source (cheaters) but we are planning on doing what we can to give back to the community (time permitting).

We do have a few things we already let out. You can check out:

Clark's .plan covering a few optimizations.

OptimizationSpeeding up terrain occlusion check

Terrain Blending error fix.

And PaulDana's Turret & AITurret classes, which use the turret setup we used for ThinkTanks.
