Keywords: TWGUIDE TRADEWARS 2002 HELPER AID UTILITY
This is an Mac utility for the popular BBS game TradeWars 2002.It will
process CIM reports and locate ideal trading locations and hiding places.
This version supports the following features:
Find Paired Ports
Find Dead End Sectors
Find Fork Ends
Find Unexplored Sectors
Find One-way
List Explored Ports
version 2.2 now gives a more accurate dead-end report. It will also process
datafiles with minor formating errors.
Until TWGuide was released, Macintosh users have been at a major
disadvantage when playing TradeWars 2002. Since TradeWars runs on
IBM-compatible BBSs, most of the utilities written for the game are only
available to PCs. It irritated me that those who were clearly
intellectually superior are penalized for choosing Mac over PC, so I set
out to right this injustice. ;)
Version 2.0 Note
Verision 2.0 uses a very different search algorithm then previous versions.
V2.0 fixes a bug that causes the program to crash when there are more than
200 pair ports This allows it to process a large captured file in 2-3
seconds instead of 1-2 minutes. Please send me e-mail if you find any bugs.
Thanks.
What's on the drawing board?
* Data file mergin
* I have also written a utility that allows a player to locate other
players during the game in the TW universe. This is very useful for those
of you who play TW on a multinode BBS system.
* Find Nearest Warp
