I think it is very unfair that a single person is allowed to use debug mode as that person has an advantage: he can try things out in preparation. On our machine, I have allowed *anybody* to use debug mode. I think it is only fair that others do the same. (For those who don't realise, you don't get a score in debug mode.) -- UUCP: ...!seismo!mcvax!ukc!dcl-cs!stephen DARPA: stephen%comp.lancs.ac.uk@ucl-cs | Post: University of Lancaster, JANET: stephen@uk.ac.lancs.comp | Department of Computing, Phone: +44 524 65201 Ext. 4599 | Bailrigg, Lancaster, UK.

I don't think anybody should be using debug mode. The game is already too easy once you find out the tricks; why make it easy for people to experiment? -- David desJardins

Very few installers of hack can resist the temptation to read the code, let alone use debug mode. It's only fair to allow others to as well. -- UUCP: ...!seismo!mcvax!ukc!dcl-cs!stephen DARPA: stephen%comp.lancs.ac.uk@ucl-cs | Post: University of Lancaster, JANET: stephen@uk.ac.lancs.comp | Department of Computing, Phone: +44 524 65201 Ext. 4599 | Bailrigg, Lancaster, UK.
