c++ files?

[The A]

I have read, that Civ V is created almost completely using c++. I'm very excited about that, because I'm mainly C++ programmer.

I just can't find c++ files anywhere! I have installed my game through steam. I have looked files from <Install directory>/steam/steammaps/common/sid meier's civilization 5/, but I cannot find anything.

Are files somewhere else or have I download them from somewhere or what?

The c++ side of things hasn't been released yet. Based on what happened with Civ4, the devs want to wait until the code base is a little more stable before that comes out. When it is released it will probably be added to the free SDK download available on Steam.

Thanks, that's what I thought too.

Hopefully c++ files get released soon. Meanwhile I might study a little bit lua.

Might as well get SQL statements a quick sweep over too, cuz they're heavily involved in many if not all aspects of the core mechanics!
Much of what modders do with functions and/or routines endup in some strict db structures manipulated by Lua calls anyway.
