        I too agree that game mechanics should be separated from the
game engine.  Here is how I see it.  The game up to this point has
consisted of alot of people hacking little parts of the code.  This has
caused the code to become messy and big.  The game would benefit greatly
if someone sat down and did alot of spring cleaning.  If we decide to
implement ERic's idea then cleaning up the code could happen in parallel.
It all comes down to how devoted everybody is to making a good game.  Do
we want to just hack what we have and release it or do we want to do the
best job we can.  Summer just started so this would be a good time to begin
a major project.
