There are allready a few games like that (see my A-TRobots page
at: http://www3.mistral.co.uk/billparsl/atrobots.htm) but I think a
Euphoria one is a great idea!
It could work seting and reading global vars to tell the main game
what it wanted to do.  So say if it wanted to turn 180o  it
would set the TURN var to 180o and then it could monitor the TURNED
var to see how far it had got.
