[spoon-discuss] A few things to say

["Orc In A Spacesuit" <orcinaspacesuit@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I have a few things to say.

First, I was working on a real nice, smooth, proposal which did the 
following:

Define machines, which let you make stuff
Define knowledges, which are sometimes required to activate machines
Make a delivery system, so you get get your machine products to customers
Redefine all the societies, to tie them into these machines (and give those 
societies the machines they need to continue what they do now)
Also redefine societies to fix all the problems associated with them.

And it didn't have all the overhead associated with some of my other 
*cough*uber*cough*technology*cough* proposals.  However, to get it to work 
right (ie - no holes for Wonko and company to exploit), I kept having to 
define things specifically, increasing overhead.  It was soon starting to 
like parts of my Uber-prop, simplified, with lots of cool stuff thrown in.  
So, I decided to use my experience with this prop, and other general 
experience, to redouble my efforts on the Uber-Prop.

I have done so already, and although I haven't updated it to my web page, I 
can tell you this about the Uber-Prop now:
It's lots smaller, neater, and has lots of junk thrown out.  I cut it up 
into smaller rules, and created a new object, seperate from the rules, which 
is pretty much a list of all object classes, which cuts a LOT out of some 
rules in the current ruleset.
It takes many rules, and cuts them out completely, as some of them are 
compacted into 1 sentence, or even less, in the general definitions.
It combines many related rules, but the new combinations are actually much 
smaller than the original parts, making less truely be more.

Oh, and I learned Java on Tuesday (yes, I went to _no_ Java knowledge when I 
woke up, to being able to make games and other stuff in major study 
session--knowing other languages helped).  For those of you who don't know, 
Java is much easier and simpler than C++, which my Uber-Prop has been 
likened to.  Well, it's now more Java-like.
