WHAT ALAN'S GOING TO DO NEXT

by Hazed

Now that the Blish city code is complete, it's time for Alan to turn his attention to something else. There's a great long list of things that he wants to do to the Fed code, but the game is now at the stage where everything on the list is a major project - there are no quick and easy additions.

I don't know what method he used to choose his next piece of work. He may have just closed his eyes and stuck a pin in the list! But however he made the choice, he's decided that next he's going to take a look at mobiles, and write the code that will make them move around.

This means that Technocrats and above, who are allowed to add events to your planets (or lower ranked POs who have paid over some slithy toves for the privilege) will be able to add mobiles that move around the map under their own steam, rather than just sitting in the same place all the time.

As always, I have absolutely no idea how long this is going to take! (Two weeks? By Christmas?) We'll have to wait and see.
