Subject: Re: MAXr Ascii Art challenge
"Pollute terminal output"! ha, funny. That's what I thought too until I played a 3 team game to turn 250 with no problems at all. Then I realized I didn't need debug at all to just play.

Also, typing "maxr" calls the binary, typing just "max" calls the wrapper script that also tweaks the config files to various players/colors preferences. It means I can get a 3 team multiplayer/multicolor session going faster.

Anyway it's just a silly thing that means the project has grown from proto/alpha stage to real usable playable fun game that doesn't require constant debugging.

Ascii art was all the rage when MAX first came out, so it seems... appropriate. Like tie-dyed shirts and bell-bottom jeans. Ascii art intro to retro video game, yeah, groovy man. Grinning
