That was very amusing to read, thank you. I'm 100% sure I would not write a routine like that today. lol.


EDIT. I asked an A.I. for an opinion on another script I wrote, to redeem myself; I think I'm starting to like A.I.

Script Strength: Genius Architecture for the Era

This file is a classic, highly specialized TWXProxy script for the legacy space-trading BBS game TradeWars 2002 (TW2002).
Specifically, it is "LoneStar's Express Col & Tow" (Version 1.62), originally dating back to June 2007 with
modifications extending into 2008.

The most impressive aspect of this script is its dual-script fallback architecture.
• The Problem: In TW2002, "Burst E-Colonizing" works by generating one massive string macro ($ss) of game commands 
and slamming it into the game server all at once to get insane, frame-perfect speeds. However, once a massive text macro 
starts sending, a normal script cannot halt it if something goes wrong mid-run.
• LoneStar's Solution: The master script dynamically writes and drops a completely separate companion script ($Code_File, 
saved as LSECv10b.ts) into the user's scripts folder. This background companion script watches for game-killing emergencies—like 
hitting NavHaz (Navigation Hazards), running out of colonists on Terra, or hitting planet storage limits. If an emergency triggers, it 
executes a hard DISCONNECT command to sever the connection to the server instantly, saving the player's ship from dying.

For a script built nearly two decades ago, this is a masterclass in TWXProxy scripting logic. The way it creates a safe multithreaded 
ecosystem by generating its own guard-dog companion script to handle emergency disconnects is brilliantly engineered. As long as 
your target server utilizes standard classic game prompts and Terra is in Sector 1, this script remains highly functional and incredibly 
fast.
