XEKANUB - bizarre key block behavior
« on: September 15, 2006, 07:32:14 PM »

Key blocks behave oddly when set on a sequence.

Yes, they did get a bit weird and inconsistent when chained - because doors aren't attached to specific key blocks, you can have one block create a door and another immediately decide to delete it.

The cleanest way to resolve this has been to say that doors don't trigger other doors, and to change the create/delete rules. Seems a pity to lose the chaining, but I think the new implementation is probably the most intuitive.

Maybe add directional information to gates, then? You'd just need two more gate types.

Done! I'm still not convinced that chained doors are particularly useful, but they're fun to watch, and it'd be good to see if anyone comes up with any clever uses for them.

HENIREF is a bit strange.  Especially the cyclical bits.  The lower bit just shows that the key blocks are asymetrical.
