Open-Ended Tech Levels?

[Krsqk]

"Values that don't DO anything are another story, since they can have usefullness in their own way." --Phoenix-D

Yep, like Ancient Ruins on components. All abilities are available for use.

"But why Python here? I think Delphi or VB would be easier (But not free )"--Shyrka

Free--that's right. My whole idea was to find an easy language and a free compiler. I was going to do this in BASIC, but then I thought that maybe it would be nice to make it portable and post it here.

"I had very good experience with that language."--Shyrka

Me, too. Very easy, very intuitive, and very powerful, not to mention extendable.

"If writing text to a file in that language is reasonably simple, then do both."--SJ

Very simple. The on-screen display will probably be the most practical for the end-user; but, hey, who am I to decide? I think later Versions will have the option to combine all files into a Components.txt, but not this time. Just don't expect me to process all data files and keep track of the maximum levels used for each tech area.

I'm in final bug testing, and I'll try to have it in EXE form by Wed. night. If it's not done by then, it will probably be Sat. before it's done.
