(munch,munch) First, in reply to David Goodenough's (dg@lakart.UUCP) question - I haven't recieved any mail from you, it must have been eaten by the net somewhere on the way over. I haven't a 'validation suite' , but but provided the objects keep the same priority ( boulders, arrows, balloons ) then a correctly designed screen should always work. Where it starts to change is when you get large numbers of 'hanging' bouldes or arrows - you'll just have to make your own test screen for that Im afraid... Scondly, Troy Saville (evh@vax1.acs.udel.EDU) - I mailed you the sources twice, once via uucp and once via ARPA. I know the latter was mangled by the net, but didn't the uucp one get through? Thirldy, it has been brought to my attention that the score should be saved as an int, rather than as a short else you get problems when you have a massive score. The necessary change is so small theres no point in posting a diff for it, just alter the struct in save.c and thats about it. Lastly: There must be SOMEONE out there who designes screens, surely the art cannot be restricted to Warwick University, the Netherlands, and two people in America? Send me your screens (even if they are dreadful), preferably with a solution. To get this, use 'tee soln | wanderer' and then solve the screen. -----------------------------------------+------------------------------------ JANET: maujp@uk.ac.warwick.cu |#includeARPA: maujp@cu.warwick.ac.uk | I am really an AI program BITNET: maujp%uk.ac.warwick.cu@UKACRL |#include UUCP: maujp%uk.ac.warwick.cu@ukc.uucp | "I hate you, Monday!" -Garfield ...!mcvax!ukc!warwick!maujp +------------------------------------ SNAIL: Maths dept., University of Warwick, Coventry.
