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

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...

Mother Nature must have a <span style='color:blue' title='I&#39;m naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> awesome processor...

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.
