Re: Bot engine
[MultiPlayer]
I will eventually support this. All elements of Neil ( I think, maybe Pete
can elaborate on this) support win32 as well, except the final screenblit. I
will lookup the directx documentation and only wrap this single screen_blit
so we have a descent speed. I dont think it will be easy, but its only *one*
routine (and problely some video mode configuration routines) .. but other
than that.. I simply dont need it. Neil handles all virtual screen, color
conversion, rle-sprites etc fine, under both win32 and dos32. The interrupts
that are used with on older vesa bords, are only needed for the screen-blit.
So, the screen-blit really is the only thing I need for win32 to 'wrap-up'
or bug Pete to add it to Neil himself.

Well actually I am, however feel free to use the botmatch.e library as it
stands right now (no actual program that uses them, other than the
work-in-progress MazeWar)
And since you're 'goal' and api are totally different from what I expect to
make, I dont think its really that comparable. I will release the latest
botmatch routines, a complete mazewar implementation of them and a couple of
bots for that implementation, together with documentation for the
botmatch-library (which actually turned out to be a general-purpose
tile-engine). What I mean is, I dont think it will take much effort to use
the botmatch library, only as an 'graphical' output layer and maintain the
rest of your code, api, etc.
