randomness today..

Archived from groups: alt.games.creatures (More info?)

So, I wrote a PRAY parsing library in python. Only took 15 minutes or so
to make a simple script work, so here's a couple of examples (these are
the only two files I have on the server right now).

http://stuff.ccdevnet.org/toys/prayviewer.py?filename=Shirta_003_rose_cqq6a_4hulw_285fq_2bk42.creature
http://stuff.ccdevnet.org/toys/prayviewer.py?filename=expressiveeggs.agents

I have some vague idea of having 'simple' web hosting for Creatures
people which allows them to just upload creatures/agents and this script
would take all the necessary information out.

For creatures: check for annoying genetic defects like fast aging, and
display the generation number, the world it came from, the creature
name, and photo(s)

For agents: check for any dependencies which aren't in the file (eg,
requiring C3 or a specific metaroom), and display the name, web url,
image etc.

But I'm not sure how useful it'd be. Thoughts? (This is probably really
the wrong place to ask this, but I'm too tired to faf around with forums)

Oh, and the previous reply will teach me to think about things before I
reply. Tsk.

I did have a look, it's a bit more of a pain than I thought, I got about
half way through and then got distracted bugfixing other things.
Probably won't get to it today, sometime later

Well, lunch around here is the *warm* meal eating roughly at noon. So I
hardly ever skip that.

Er, can't you see the history? The 'Then I'd rather be one of the slow'
one... giving the definition of 'fast', as in the fast that is broken in
