>Crystalline Tree? Wazzat?
An old scenario, much like the Elven forest/Sceptre/Castle Krak
scenario we used to bounce ideas off.
The actual scenario was called "Bubba and the Crystalline Tree", and
dealt fairly simply with our friend Bubba who managed to climb a
crystalline tree. This was no mean feat as Bubba is a very heavy chap
whose weight *should* break the tree, dropping bubba to the ground.
The scenario is:
-- Bubba is in the Crystalline Tree.
-- Bubba has some sort of state changing effect which lessens his
weight such that the tree does not break. Typical examples are: he is
holding on to a large number of helium balloons, he is enchanted to be
lighter, etc.
-- Bubba now changes his weight value. This could be by letting go of
the balloons, picking up another object, receiving a "heavy" spell,
having his "light" spell wear off, having one of the objects he is
carrying receive or lose a heavy/light spell, having one of the
objects he is carrying chage its weight for any other reason etc.
-- Having the tree respond appropriately to Bubba's weight change.

Nahh. That's way too expensive. Most of us already have ways of
trapping method calls for which we don't have a defined method (and
usually calling a default method instead). All you need to do instead
is to instantiate the actual object upon receipt of such a call, and
continue working with the forgery the rest of the time.
Cheap, effective, and workable. Real objects only get built when
something asks for them and a forgery can't do the job.

Ahh, there's one of my saving graces. I refuse to work with MS

Shoot. I reboot OS/2 no more than once a fortnight or so, and then
usually because I've coded something stupid.
