there really are a ton of projects on sourceforge. im sure you can find one to work on, if that is the goal. or, if you just want to start a random programming project with likeminded se4 people, then i understand. cant help, but understand.

I think its a bad idea to create the code for the map, and work from there. I think you should create the code for your empire management, and then create the map and movement and combat and such as seperate pieces, tieing in to the same code. but thats just my two bits.

uh...but how are you supposed to know if your empire management is running with no numbers to plug in?

If I were a NetHack monster, I would be a floating eye. I see and sense absolutely everything that happens around me. I just don't do very much about it.

Well, I've played some strictly text-based games before, and sure, you have to depend on your imagination. Why even bother with graphics, if that's your thing?

OK, when I took that test, I got this one:

If I were a NetHack monster, I would be a trapper. Why bother going anywhere? I don't mind hanging around. All things come to those who wait.
