Looks good to me! You need to practice on the for loops though. At least
you gave it a try ;) Have fun. I am glad that my psuedo code could help you
out too. I don't mind that took any name either after all that is why i
told the list to help someone out! Have fun and when you get the fall
working let me know the address of you mud so i can try it out ;>
