Re: [Rails-devel] track/route awareness

[Jonathan F. <jon...@ya...>]

Several years ago I posted an idea for an algorithm based on computing half-routes (starting from stations an only going one direction) but I've never proved to myself that the filtering needed (to combine them into full routes and not conflict with other trains in a corp) would be practical.  I think that was the last time it was openly discussed, and I've never looked into the code to see how that would fit with the current game-state internals.

Nobody has stepped forward to work on route awareness.  We have a
basic implementation for matching legal plays by tracking which sides
of each hex have track, and lining them up to the sides of each other
hex that has track.

If you would like to work on route calculation, you're welcome to it.
