Nod. I have mine down to 5587, including "main", and all comments. Sans
comments it's less than 4k. I could make it smaller, but then it wouldn't
be "readable". (As it is, I'm not sure how well it'll pass for "readable".)

Though I doubt my entry will be much more than that. I seem to not have
the time/motivation at the moment. I'll pry finish up by tossing in a bit
of a rewrite to my maze generator, and add in a combat sequence or some
sort of thing. Shrug. I was going to make it so you could define your own
variables, but I have a nasty habbit of not being able to narrow down my
selections, and to keep rewriting what I've just written...

Both are not a good combination when you're trying to conserve the time
and size you're putting into the project.

Oh, I'm using C btw. If any one wants my sockets, email me.

Quzah.
