I think the next iteration of this project should focus on making it a
python programming environment.  The biggest shortfall I see is that you ar=
e
only allowed 1 line for python which excludes for and if statements.  And
the tintin scripting language is way less powerful than python.

The other issue I see is why even have tintin compatibility?  I grew up
using mudmaster so the tintin syntax is really the first language I ever
learned and I am very comfortable with it.  But why even have it if python
is available?  Why use a #var wrapper for making a variable when you can
just make it with a python statement?  Ive always used the mudmaster versio=
n
of tintin and thought it was lacking, thats why I became interested in this
project.  I always thought #action was especially lacking.  I think we
should do away with #action and put something in that can accept multiple
lines like what was talked about in this thread.
