Hi Gerd, thank you for your motivating words. it seems that i am to sensitive at the moment. i had a bad day. it is absolutely ok and good that tord, uri and ryan and of course other programmers "defend" fabien if there is an wrong claim. i only wanted to say, that such people definitely not represent my opinion if they are talking bad about fabien or fruit. and if it is important for some people to know who is the better programmer, than i can only say that there is no doubt about it that fabien and everybody who build his own engine from the scratch, is the much better programmer than i am. believe me or not but i envy you and every other author for their great work. my critic is only that some statements which where written in the forum, give the impression, that it is so simple to improve fruit. for example there are only 47 lines of new code, he invented nothing new..... these statements are not false, but i tried much more than 47 lines of code. i tried a lot of more things. but all the other lines of code i have deleted because the haven´t improved the playing strength. of course there is no comparison between the time you spent for your engine development and my tries in improving fruit. but writting the 47 lines of code was not done in 2 hours. i wish you all the best. Thomas
