SUBJECT: Prototype: Refactor or rebuild?
   DATE: Wed May 16 22:02:11 BST 2012

So after my post on Sunday I've been rewriting the prototype using proper
packages. After a few false starts trying to refactor everything I decided to
rewrite a lot from scratch. I did keep a copy of what I had as a reminder and
for copy'n'pasting some of the better bits.

Now I have the prototype mostly working again - it's in a runnable state - and
I'm implementing some of the missing bits I did have, documenting the code and
generally cleaning up.

What I am aiming for is an initial release of the prototype that has the bare
minimum of functionality:


  - Basic locations and movement
  - Basic get/drop/examine objects
  - Multiplayer networking
  - Basic mobiles[1]


Already I have networking, basic locations, movement, basic objects - but no
get, drop or examine.

I've still got a lot of test cases to write as well :(

  [1] Have not decided 100% on this one yet but would be nice.
