Could anybody ... review that?
I recently got really fed up with hardcoded oil drum placement when i
tried to make another tower defence map and wanted fine control over how
much power the human player has after each wave (>_<)
So i made this patch to move oil drums code to rules.js.
I didn't bother understanding the confusing original drum placement
algorithm, so it is made slightly differently. Number of initially placed
oil drums is now proportional to map area, one drum per 64x64 tiles, with
at least one to be placed regardless (originally it was proportional to
number of players). Oil drums are now respawned in 10 minutes after they
are picked up. Oil drums are always placed in locations reachable from at
least one starting position, otherwise uniformly spread around the map.
One of the recent (and quite flooded up) forum discussion on this topic is
here: http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=10410
It seems that we no longer need `moveInitialize()`. Remove it or keep for
future use?
And the thing that troubles me the most is sync-unsafe javascript
division. It is known that there is no such thing as integer in
javascript. So when i divide map area by 4096, i might get a platform-
specific double. I worked around by using right shift instead of division,
but maybe it's worth it to add special javascript functions for division -
something like `syncDiv(a,b)` and `syncMod(a,b)` that would simply do
these operations on the C++ side?
