Re: [gentoo-user] Lost Labyrinth

that makes 5 (in words FIVE) lines of code a day.

;-)))

Markus, please don't get me wrong. I know that most of the work is to
work out the game logic.

Rewriting will be pure coding.

I did (inside the unpacked source tree):

``cat * | grep -v ^';' | wc -l''

You see, this is still counting empty lines.

Otherwise I had a short look at the language as is. It is a very simple
semantics. 
The only thing I don't understand after 5 minutes looking at the code;

what means:

spieler(i) \Status = 1

for instance. Is "spieler" an array of structs and Status dereferences a
member variable of this struct?

Again otherwise the rewrite could be automated using awk or Perl.

Your work seems to be well structured. Congratulations.

Regards
Frank
