PBM Writing System - Update From: rwallace@cs.tcd.ie (Russell Wallace) Date: Sat, 02 Apr 1994 14:48:18 +0000 This is an update to my message several months ago, suggesting the possibility of a special purpose programming language (4GL) for creating PBM games. I have evaluated a number of possible designs for this, and have established to my satisfaction that any system which would give a substantial improvement in productivity would also incur a very great loss of flexibility. Based on the results of the survey I conducted at the time, I conclude that very few people would therefore use it, and the project would thus be pointless. If anyone can come up with a design that overcomes this problem, please let me know! :) -- "To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem" Russell Wallace, Trinity College, Dublin rwallace@cs.tcd.ie Up
