I think he was referring to how the exits currently in circle are static.
I.E. unchangeable without hard coding them into the code itself. If you
want to understand the dynamic exit concept, take a look at one of the
lp muds. So each exit has a name rather than being a set direction... so
you could, in affect, leave 'goat' but you would be leaving through a
direction called goat which would not be left,right, up, or down, but would
be a direction called goat. :)
