I believe he is refering to since we are already in a matrix, we will make a matrix within the matrix

Got you.
Here is a
really simple plant thingy, in case people are still unsure what the hell I'm on about...
Code: Select all
function plant ($environment_array, $object_id) {
//get info for this plant from the database (using object_id)...
if ($environment_array['water'] > 3 AND $environment_array['sunlight'])
{
// grow a little
}
if ($environment_array['water'] == 0)
{
// die a little
}
if ($plant_size > 50)
{
// start growing a seed
}
if ($seed_size > 10)
{
// drop seed - let it follow the wind around
}
}

Thinking about it, the simpler the better - that way the script won't take 500 years to run a few square meters...

I'm off for the weekend, so I'll think out it...
BTW, if we do decide to do this, I don't want to be 'boss' - I'm a much better contributor than I am a commander - something that has lead to everyone being promoted around me for the last few years

Hey, maybe I can try commanding a huge project like that. Would be a great experience.
And I'll be thinking on that for the weekend too. It's really a grand idea.

I am somewhat against Haven becuase of the crappy Haven holidays TV adverts we have here in the UK, but I like the meaning beind the words.
Words like Sanctuary, and... Er...
Well, Sanctuary means a simular thing.
