This works on all OSes, making it far simpler for any developer
to jump in. Just install vcpkg, run "vcpkg install" in our root,
and you have all the dependencies.
On first start-up, the game will ask if you want to participate
in our automated survey. You have to opt-in, and can easily opt-out
(via the Options) at any time.
When opt-in, whenever you exit a game, a JSON blob will be send
to the survey server hosted by OpenTTD. This JSON blob contains
information that gives a global picture of the game just played:
- What settings were used
- How many humans vs AIs
- How long the game has been played
- Basic information about the OS / CPU
All this information is kept very generic, so there is no
chance we send private information to our survey server.
Nothing in the JSON blob could identify you as a person; it
mostly tells about the game played. At any time you can see
what the JSON blob includes, by pressing the "Preview Survey
Results" button in-game.
By default, GitHub adds all arguments of the matrix between ().
This is fine sometimes, but in other times it becomes a very
lengthy line.
With this commit, we decide what is between those (), making it
a lot more readable.
