[palito-dev] saving orders, semi-functional drawing functions, and ... stuff

[Michael Devey]

howdy

set, save, prepend and append orderlists, I hope without any memory 
leaks.  I moved addto_group off shift (now used by set orders so you can 
see straight away what you've changed to).  Need to write functions to 
determine what units are allowed what orders - currently just stripping 
out building orders (which don't work anyway because we add units to the 
map (not just draw them) before they start getting built - on TODO I know.
--
The idea was to get the dashline,dashsemicircle working so patrol could 
be visually represented (toggle patrol with p - now that I think of it I 
should also turn it off with esc left click on nothing etc :/) but flush 
"time" (as opposed to $walk) plays havoc with it - negatives for reasons 
I don't understand (I'm passing the problem :)

also another strange error I can't fix - with x11.c flush_semicircle a1 
(radians to the start of arc) is 0 at 9'oclock so I move it by M_PI but 
this has surprising results on dashsemicircle in twodee.c the dimishing 
arc at the end starts of almost another segment on from where it's spose 
to finish at certain angles - see exampleuse01.flush making the unit go 
left and slightly down.

Also I was thinking of using a stack of some sort and using XDrawArcS 
and XDrawLineS for some performance increase (instead of million 
XDrawLine calls) - we could do the same thing with polyline.
--
I put some kiddie like messages in the key proccessing (k toggles) but 
now that I think about it maybe I should have put in Tellunits - but 
then it's harder to tell update if the key arrangements change (they 
need to - and we'll prolly have custimisable keys later yes?)

anyway it's a bit of a mess but the idea is there.

I don't think there's anything else I did a half-arsed job of :/ :}

oh yes there is 2 rotating quad functions so instead of doing mental 
backflips (like making the blades in wing.flush) in flush you can just 
use these functions with entirely too many inputs (it'd be faster too) 
these also get confused by time (fine with $walk).

Anyway hoping you can fix my mistakes, if not I think orderlists is useable.
bunzip2 and patch -Np1 -i for a look.

talk to you soon,
