Ryding" Reply-To: dgr@aps.anl.gov Organization: ANL/APS/XFD To: fms@orl.co.uk Subject: dht6 plus While we can all fire up lmps, the other demo sites have people include batch files to run the lmps. This makes viewing easier when going through many lmps. Remember, that's what you created dht for in the first place; to make awesome lmps for entertaining viewing. Make the viewing easier by having run batch files with all people's exams. Also, your dht6 page doesn't seem to get people to the place to view these lmps. I know how to get there but first timers may have a problem, so include a link to the viewing site. And yes, I had trouble getting my exam to the right place, so I have sent it to several other places too. They probably wonder why I sent them these things. Maybe they will enjoy watching them. You mentioned a possible time limit in the future. My thoughts are that to make the best lmp (as in the spirit of dht) time is usually needed. Many people forget this spirit and just want to get the exam done, as if it were the end in itself. Making a good lmp is the end, please stress this often. There are some really good players out there that could make better lmps rather than brag that they got this the first or second time so here it is. Who cares? We want great lmps from those capable of them. A time limit category could be a new title. Request and return it within a 2 hour time limit. That could be challenging, but not usually the best lmps. Although it might produce fun lmps due to the "go like crazy" and submit whatever the best effort is after two hours, even if you die. I mean, am I the only person that dies while making these things? But then these are becoming more like "exams" rather than the most entertaining lmps. thanks for dht dgr 0
