James: Thanks for the reply on PBEM. Michael Surman: Thanks for the reply on MT2. I got it and it is a lot better than MT1. I was wondering how MT2 was programmed? What language is it done in? Does it use object-oriented programming? How are the graphics done? How is the sound done? How did the programmers learn how to program games like this (are there any books on doing game programming like this)? I have an idea for people working on programming games like MT. How about using genetic algorithms to introduce an element of randomness and of Darwinian adaptation? I was wondering how to get my spaceship to do a jump when I am travelling? The manual does not seem very helpful on this point (to me at least!). Also, does this group have a list of Frequently Asked Questions on how to do XYZ in the computerized versions of MT? If not, such a list might save the mailing list from seeing the same beginner questions posted as new people are added to the list.
