Well i have a pretty good idea how to make geoscape part of the game playable, with one team of players playing xcom and the other aliens, but the thing is im only good at Pascal and Visual Basic, my expirience in C++ is limited (i understand object programing, and all but i'm poor with C++ syntax). anyway i could give it a try, or if you fell like doing the actual hard work i can send you my ideas in sort of a pseudo code well, i can always check out c++ for dummies
