I stumbled into this article today: http://nicktasios.nl/posts/space-invaders-from-scratch-part-1.html

The motocoin game is coded in C++ and uses GLFW and GLEW. (and OpenGL)
I wonder if this guy would want to help update the game. Anyone want to contact him? (willoweb7? )

Wow, almost a coincidence that he is extremely interested in machine learning techniques and artificial intelligence.
We might actually have a chance here.

Edit: I just sent him a message. I'll see what he thinks.
