DeVincentis" Subject: Re: Acka: Why Uninfect? For all those interested, I originally considered a set of 6 possible moves, the place, destroy, and step, and the analogous infect, uninfect, and a move which transferred a virus from one cell to an adjacent clean cell. However, this last move was rarely going to be better than infecting the cell moved to, and this and the "step" move were more complicated in that they involve two grid squares, so I dropped this move. The uninfect move is also rarely useful, but to allow for the possibility of cooperative play, or merely to provoke discussion about strategies of the game :-), I left this one in, since it wasn't overly complicated. /dev/joe BTW, I'm working on processing all the game mail from the last week. ------------------------------ End of Ackanomic Games Digest V2 #73 ************************************
