[net.games] Midway, saving games

eugene@utcsri.UUCP (Eugene Kligerman) (03/15/85)

I was browsing through some of the source files, and I noticed that there
IS a file 'save.c' that was distributed along with the rest of the Midway
game.
However, there is no save game option in the game itself, and the makefile
did not even compile the file 'save.c'.

A game normally lasts over an hour, and it would be nice to have the
save option built in & working for the next release of the game.

As of yet, Midway does not save games.  The file save.c was to be integrated
into Midway one of these days.  It is actually the save and recover functions
from Rogue.  I don't know how hard it would be to install the save/recover
functions.  Perhaps somebody in netland has taken on to the idea of doing
the work.  (I sure don't have the time...  To much net news to read :-) ).
