Heh, I heard the same thing Parrothead heard

Seriously, I'm working on it daily, and it's shining up nicely. It's pretty much all cleanup from here.

my credability? surly you jest.

Well, I could start dropping a few tidbits now, but remember anything is apt to change.

One of the nicest new features is intended to greatly simplify breadth-first (aka Nearest) searches.

In the past, to find the nearest fighter for example, you had to create several arrays, several counters, numerous checks, and a while loop. With this new command (currently getNearestSectors), you simply begin at $que[1] and work your way deeper into the array, looking for that fig. So say you've created an array of figs, $figged. Finding the nearest fig will now look something like this:

getNearestSectors $array CURRENTSECTOR
setVar $i 1
while ($i <= SECTORS)
     setVar $focus $array[$i]
     if ($figged[$focus] = 1)
           echo "*Nearest fig in sector " $i
     end
     add $i 1
end

Believe me when i say that the above code is MUCH simpler than what was previously required.

So you settled on getNearestSectors eh?

Not all of the sectors in that list are nearest.

Hey EP, to early for suggestions for 2.05?

When a game bangs I have to delete the old twx setup then program everything back in for the new game, but I repeat everything that was already there. It would be nice to have a reset database option so when a game bangs, I reset, and done! No typing ip, passwords, all that jazz over again.
