- So is there anything you actually want to write yourself? [ Calling me lazy ]
-
- How about a command MAKE GAME <expr> where you just type in a
- description of the game (in any language) and it is automatically
- made?
- [ A joke. You probably still don't understand that Amos would need to be
- artificially intelligent to do this, and only a coder would choose typing
- over talking ]
-
- Oh and surely he doesn't actually have the 3D extension source code as
- it was made independantly in which case half of these commands
- couldn't be done anyway.

- Their you go again "Wing Commander 5" my game design is far more superior
