Re: [glob2-devel] hi

I agree, I wouldn't consider Globulation 2 to be a good example of
general programming technique. It was originally built by programmers
migrating from C, and then later I maintained it for a couple of years
and I was still relatively new at programming during that period. The
project does have some good examples of AI programming though.
