What I would really, really, REALLY like to see is for us to have the capacity to program how our ships and fleets do battle.
Over fifteen years ago (Is it really that long?
), a game was written for the Apple whereby robots fought with sensors, weapons, movement etc. Using boolian, we would program the robot and then match it agains others.
It was a hoot. And a lot of fun.
If this could be done over 15 years ago, it should not be difficult to implement it into this game.
