@mwsheeler - welcome aboard!

considering the latest comments - i will have a pre-beta release tomorrow.

i think ray was begging for videos, jetison that - i can stow an .exe in a much smaller package than any dumb-ass video, under 20 megs, more likely, under 10.

so, you won't be able to do anything, it is, in a sense, a video. it's my AI in action. you can consider it the enemy :P all params are preset and the random has the same seed (therefore it should play out the same on all machines). almost all interface is disabled. it is a pure demonstration of the current sail physics, with obstacle avoidance. ie. don't collide with other ships, don't run aground. i'll give you some camera control, but that is not what is to be evaluated.

we evaluate the quality of the AI sail - agreed?

i will post a good old school ftp link soon, with instructions. look for it mid-day tomorrow lisbon time, which also happens to be GMT.

in this, you will note that a few ships do collide, and one ship does run aground. eventually, you will be there, umm, playing the game, to prevent that!

best,
jbkds
