    <p>I'm a member and contributor of the <a href="http://www.argentumonline.com.ar" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Argentum Online (AO)</a> community, the first MMORPG from Argentina, <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/morgoao/develop" rel="nofollow noreferrer">which is Free Software</a>; which, although it's not 3D, it's really addictive and has some dozens of thousands of users. </p> <p><strong>Really</strong> unluckily AO was developed in Visual Basic (yes, you can laugh) but the former community, so imagine, the code not only sucks, it has zero portability.</p> <p>I'm planning, with some friends to rewrite the client, and as a GNU/Linux frantic, want to do it cross-platform. Some other people is <a href="http://code.google.com/p/aoxp/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">doing the same with the server in Java</a>.</p> <p>So my biggest problem is that we would like to use a rapid development language (like Java, Ruby or Python) but the client would be pretty insecure. Ruby/Python version would have all it's code available, and the Java one would be easily decompilable (yes, we have some crackers in the community)</p> <p>We have consider the option to implement the security module in C/C++ as a dynamic library, but it can be replaced with a custom one, so it's not really secure.</p> <p>We are also considering the option of doing the core application in C++ and the GUI in Ruby/Python. But haven't analysed all it's implications yet.</p> <p>But we really don't want to code the entire game in C/C++ as it doesn't need that much performance (the game is played at 18fps on average) and we want to develop it as fast as possible.</p> <p>So what would you choose in my case?</p> <p>Thank you!</p>

    1. COThrowing out a body of functioning code and replacing it with the unknown is almost never the correct path. The best thing you can do is to change it bit by bit into what you want it to be; otherwise you're trading known bugs and issues for unknown bugs and issues. If the client works today, it's a better starting point than trying to begin with nothing at all.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
