Well, Brian's entitled to his opinions; one of the joys/trials of the
Net.  And I'm having at least as much fun programming ARENA as anyone
is having playing it, or I wouldn't be doing it.

Just keep in mind that ARENA is definitely a spare-time project for
me.  I code quickly but not that carefully, so problems are bound to
pop up (like with "CHALLENGE +").  I could go to a more conservative
revision policy, but I think people would rather have the quick
response, at least until ARENA gets to some "playability" plateau.

I doubt that I'll make all of the source code available.  I've had a
few requests for "skeleton code" for people interested in writing
their own mail server games.  If I get any free time/inclination, I
might clean that up and make it available.  But don't hold your
breath.

Everything is in C.
