Well, if they don't like one, they always have the choice to switch over, so it will always be good.
I tweaked the parser a bit, didn't have time to do much else.

I might spend some time this weekend and rearrange some of the parsing functions.

The only thing that looks ugly at the moment is the DNA parser. Might work on that next.

I built the whole thing from the ground up, so the whole way parsing is done wasn't really used in practice till the end, so yeah, it's a little messy.  And I don't think the super high level parsing functions are even tested, IIRC.

Sweet, I found an Eclipse plugin for C#. That should increase my productivity massively.

What does your eclipse plugin do exactly?

Allows me to use C# in Eclipse.
Basically, Eclipse is the best Development Environment for Java, and whenever I learn a new language looking for an Eclipse Plugin is top priority.
Still haven't found any for English, Spanish, French or German yet...

So Eclipse is an IDE, and your plugin lets you use Eclipse to program C#?  Gotcha.

Yes, IDE, that's it; I just spent the last half hour trying to remember what the proper word was.

I learned C#.
I'm currently making a Travian Bot, that will be completely autonomous.
Also I'm making a Settlers of Catan bots, that will self-improve using genetic algorithms.
I've come a long way since my last post under suggestions. I've been reading a lot about genetic programming.

I will take a look at the new code 3.0 code, if I can...

hey, long time no see

There's a wiki page which goes over how to look at the source and set everything up.  It's under source code-> C# version.

I might be back on the project, if I can scrape up all the information I've misplaced on an extremely cluttered desktop (I use two screens, but sometimes the computer spontaneously decides to move all my stuff from one screen to another, so I categorize in folders. My junk programs folder for obsolete programs has 78 elements   )

Cool.  I use two screens, too.  They set me up like that at work, and once I couldn't do without.  I moved my computer over to my 1080p $1000 TV and I use it as a second monitor now   It's like 38" so it dwarfs my 19" computer monitor   You might want to give this a try, I've found it very useful.

Anyway, check out the wiki page for the code, I've moved it and reorganized it since last you saw it.

All the devs where I work have two and some even three screens; I have always used two, both for home and work. Though my 24” dell wide screen now seems small compared to Numsgil’s  38” TV , but at least it’s a higher res at 1920x1600

My screen is oddly shaped, like an A3 piece of paper except a bit narrower and longer.
Anyway, I installed C# development edition, now all I have to get is the subversion program, might use SVN3 (are different programs compatible? I have no idea.)
