Re: [Rails-devel] CVS and XCode

Chris,

All good points. Given your example games, I will at this point have to
plead ignorance. Each of those games came out after I had stopped playing
18xx steadily 10 years ago.

Implementing a Junction to allow re-use and preventing re-use would not be a
big issue with my code base.

My Tile drawing techniques was implemented with the thought of each train a
company owns would use independent track, and could be shown in different
colors. Probably the TGV train would be a configuration item that would
override the track-reuse testing, and draw it not as a colored track, but as
maybe a dashed pattern. Or drawn alongside the track... have to think about
it more.

For the maps I have so far loaded up (1830, 1835, 1853, 1856, 1870) they all
do match the printed boards. I have copies of each. I also have 1829 (North
and South), and 1837 which I have not coded up yet. But I should work on
18EU and the other maps that Rails currently supports to be sure they work
properly also. I am not saying my code will handle all possible variations,
but until I come across something that does it differently, I will stand by
my claim. (Or it can be fixed)

For the 1844 H Trains, that is yet another train that would have a
configuration option "No Dead End Track Segments allowed".

For 18Scan that requires an off-board token yet another configuration option
"Off Board Token Require for Off Board Use"

Thanks for the input and new items I had not had privy too.
