Nah, but still reading the stuff posted to the mailing list. :)

Yeah, the switch-construct is obviously very stupid... it's fine for
simple games, but it didn't take long before too much code was stuffed
into it.

If I had to redo it, I'd probably go for a more object oriented way to
do it... ideally coupled with lua/xml so all the menus/etc could be
made fully scriptable. But ofcourse that would require some thought,
and can't just be hacked together in 5 minutes like the switch
statement.

I must admit I haven't checked out the last couple of xmoto versions,
but the last things I saw was cool. (Like for instance the
split-screen stuff - I hope you cleaned up the code before doing that,
otherwise I can imagine how horrible it looks :))
