As I've said, I do understand that some developers don't care if an idea is
already out there, and I even understand why they feel that way. My earlier
statement was just to let everyone know that I personally don't do thing that
way, and I assume I'm not alone in that way of thinking.

I don't know, maybe Dumbledore beat Voldemort because he understood love,
and Voldemort did not. I don't think Voldemort would have had trouble that
much, because he could have casted a really powerful dark arts spell at the
order members. Voldemort is much more powerful than them.

all it would have taken was one lucky shot from an Auror or Order member to

Hi Dark,
Yeah, I do see your point. A lot of the arcade games we have were
simplified for practical reasons. With Montezuma's Revenge, for
example, I did simplify things for very practical reasons. The one big
one being its hard to actually convey certain information through an
audio only medium.

One concept that I thought would be hard to convey by sound was in the beta

Sure, but then again let's not forget most of our devs aren't trained
professionals at this sort of thing. As a result they only program
