Internet based bones sharing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Could we do something like this? Perhaps have a server where people can choose 
to 
upload bones files to, after they die. Then when someone starts a new game 
inethack could 
pull some random bones files.
We could use the same server for public top tens.

I don't know exactly what rules there are for process exiting on the iPod, but 
it
seems like the easiest way to implement this would be some way of embedding 
Hearse
into iNethack.  If there are restrictions on how long you have to shut down on 
exit,
I'd run it at startup -- otherwise you could run it at shutdown.

It could be made a setting for those who don't want to use it at all. (I don't 
know
why, maybe they are limiting their network traffic)

Couldn't you just run hearse when you started up the app and/or created a new 
character, unless it had been run 
within the last 24 hours (or something like that?)

Hearse is a Perl script btw :) The cute little thingie has about 1000 lines of
executable code (perldoc not included).

Do we want bones exchange with other (big-endian) platforms? Or a closed
iPhone/iPod-only system?

It would probably be best to keep it with iPhone/itouch devices because the 
data will be more predictable 
and less error prone.

Ditto -- you never know what options (or levels) someone else has compiled in 
or out.
