HEY Gang. Off line i have been getting a lot of grief from Calum about the height of the cell walls for the next Robot Game. The blocks for the game are 3x3 by 2 bricks high we know the size of the grid. the last issue that Calum wants solved is (...) (23 years ago, 16-Oct-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
