| The match feature is very interesting. However, I'd like to be able to match maps a little bit better. There are lots of large lakes and islands that I cannot represent. How can I use a 48x24 (double resolution) match file? Trying to do this currently ignores the last half of the characters. |

| Currently, the maps for matching have fixed size. I will consider changing that in the future. Until then, the best you can do is try a lot of different seeds until you get something close to what you want. |

| Code snippet from the readmap() function in planet.c: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Width = 48; Height = 24; for (j = 0; j < Height; j+=2) { for(i = 0; i < Width ; i+=2) { c = getchar(); switch (c) { case '.': cl0[i][j] = -8; break; case ',': cl0[i][j] = -6; break; case ':': cl0[i][j] = -4; break; case ';': cl0[i][j] = -2; break; case '-': cl0[i][j] = 0; break; case '*': cl0[i][j] = 2; break; case 'o': cl0[i][j] = 4; break; case 'O': cl0[i][j] = 6; break; case '@': cl0[i][j] = 8; break; default: printf("Wrong map symbol: %c\n",c); } } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I've got two questions: - Why do you use 48x24 and increment by 2, instead of using 24x12 and incrementing by 1? - Why is the integer array (int c10[60][30];) initialized as 60x30? This means that the above readmap() function doesn't affect any points in the array past [48][24]. What about the indices between 48 and 60 in the x and between 24 and 30 in the y? |

| The increment of 2 is because I later interpolate the intermediate points. The larger array size is "for historical reasons", i.e., I don't remember, but there probably was a different size once. Parts of the program are 30 years old, so there is probably a lot of junk code. |
