Have you got one of those new 23 Gig hard drives on your machine? I think you'd want to do all of your arrays as sparse arrays - only those that cannot be algorithmically generated are present at all. There has been discussion of these issues before, and a couple of people are doing experiments, I believe. I'm a fan of a full fractal world, with specifically stored exceptions, myself. Work on it suspended a couple of months ago as I implemented a byte-code system to make it go faster, and then moved over to a new architecture/OS. -- Chris Gray cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00178" HREF="msg00178.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Universe Design Notes, version 061098</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Mike L Kesl <mlkesl#cpinternet,com></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00171.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Physics Lesson</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00173.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: World Creation Notes, version 061098</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00477.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: World Creation Notes, version 061098</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00178.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Universe Design Notes, version 061098</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00172"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00172"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>[MUD-Dev] Re: Mud websites</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00217" HREF="msg00217.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Mud websites</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Wed 15 Jul 1998, 01:32 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00173" HREF="msg00173.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: World Creation Notes, version 061098</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Sat 11 Jul 1998, 22:19 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00177" HREF="msg00177.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: World Creation Notes, version 061098</A></strong>, Mike L Kesl <a href="mailto:mlkesl#cpinternet,com">mlkesl#cpinternet,com</a>, Sat 11 Jul 1998, 23:49 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00477" HREF="msg00477.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: World Creation Notes, version 061098</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Wed 05 Aug 1998, 01:31 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00172" HREF="msg00172.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Universe Design Notes, version 061098</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Sat 11 Jul 1998, 22:07 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00178" HREF="msg00178.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Universe Design Notes, version 061098</A></strong>, Mike L Kesl <a href="mailto:mlkesl#cpinternet,com">mlkesl#cpinternet,com</a>, Sun 12 Jul 1998, 00:03 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00171" HREF="msg00171.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Physics Lesson</A></strong>, John Bertoglio <a href="mailto:alexb#internetcds,com">alexb#internetcds,com</a>, Sat 11 Jul 1998, 21:59 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00175" HREF="msg00175.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Physics Lesson</A></strong>, Mike Sellers <a href="mailto:mike#bignetwork,com">mike#bignetwork,com</a>, Sat 11 Jul 1998, 22:38 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00184" HREF="msg00184.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Physics Lesson</A></strong>, Ling <a href="mailto:K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk">K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk</a>, Sun 12 Jul 1998, 23:29 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
