Re: [PATCH] gnibbles: only the crashed worm dies

["Richard Hoelscher" <rah rahga com>]

Johannes:

Perhaps it would be better if, instead of restarting any of the worms, to
let the round play out, ending it when only one worm is left by awarding a
bonus... A number of lightcycle games do this. To make it really
interesting, the carcass of defeated worms could be left on the playfield
to annoy or trap remaining players.

Any patches of this nature will have to wait until after the release of
GNOME 2.10, but it's a good time to talk about features for the next
version... especially if you would rather not debug issues in gnect's
velena engine that have gone unnoticed for the last few years. :)
