General Discussion About The Game (TAKAMO)

[Takamo]

I tried to name some ship types, but apparently, there is a short character length limit for such things. It short of lets the air out of the old enthusiasm balloon. I don't see much of a point of bothering with that, going forward. Or, am I missing something, regarding that?

I recall that there is a limit. I think that it is eight characters total, including special numbers. For example, you could name a single ship "Repulser" or you could build a set of five in one action, name them "Repulse" and put a 1 in the special number slot. The shipyard would then build the five ships and name them "Repulse1", "Repulse2", etc.

I asked Thom to look into whether that was a program limitation. If he is able to adjust it, I will have him increase the size of the field. The naming fields i n the new game will not have these kind of limits.
