Subject: Re: list for jsw faq
I'm sure that ropes would provide a lot of
question material, eg
*How come Willy keeps dying
when he hits my rope?
*I have two ropes but only
one is moving, why?
*Why is Willy being picked up
by my rope when he hasn't touched it?
*How do I
change the length of my ropes?
[this is going to be
asked a lot as people discover We
Pretty]
"incidentally... in jswed... does anyone think it's strange that
the v-step parameter goes right up to +/-128? is
there some special use for this? i've only ever set it
to a maximum of +/- 10 to my
knowledge."
Personally I figured it was to use up all 256 possible
values. If the v-step only went up to say, +/-20, that's
only 40 values used up. The others might then cause
bizarre and undesireable effects
