| − | The code of VCMI is divided into several main parts: client, server, lib and AIs, each one in a separate binary file.

| − | Client is responsible for:

| − | * capturing player's actions and sending requests to server
| |
| − | * displaying changes in state of game indicated by server

| − | === Animations of creatures ===
| |
| − | All animations of creatures in a battle are handled by storing currently displayed animations in pendingAnims vector. When server tells that an event requiring animation happens, info about it is added to pendingAnims. Every animation needs to be initialized (what indicates that this animation has started). show() function tries to initialize all not initialized animations every frame until it succeeds. Then nextFrame call-ins are called until animation removes itself from pendingAnims. During initialization it is checked if this animation can be played now or we must wait.
