I cant not respond to this, here is my .02$ on all the patches v. figuring it out yourself. I am an imp on a mud with 3 other ppl, one person is a knowledgeable coder 2 arent, and i am very newbie, but learning fast. one of the 2 non coder imps is our world/builder imp the other is our mortal affairs/policy imp neither of them NEED C knowledge, they come up with ideas, set down the law, keep our players happy and in line make sure our 7 or 8 builders have a focal point of contact etc etc, SHOULD and IMP NEED to know C? no, not if someone else imping does... Would it help if everyone was a C genius? sure it would myself included. is snippets going to make all muds everywhere terrible? NO They are a great learning tool if used properly, if an imp just patches in everything, sure they arent going to know much at all and have a below average (or, i guess, exactly average) mud. however if someone grabs the code, installs it, LEARNS from it how it works why it works, maybe they can improve on it or derive something even more awesome from it! then this gets passed on, and the same thing happens, so code sharing is good and bad, lets let it happen and just deal with it ok? eek, sorry about that, guess i needed to vent. flames to ghost@ao.net please Ghost aka Bill +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
