6 years ago Curses require a complete implementation of "touch" to be passed on: Specifically, neohabitat doesn't yet implement the adjacency check. I'm willing to accept a less precise check, but it should still be accurate.
If you don't want to have to check every single object's interaction with adjacency, I'd be happy for you to put something inline in the "touch" code.
Otherwise, people can't "run" from being touched, which was part of the fun!
Curses are now in Habitat again!
No, not the expletive kind of curses, but rather the call in sick and watch daytime TV kind.
Curses temporarily modify the appearance of your Avatar. If you have a curse, you cannot remove your Avatar's head until the curse is lifted. To get rid of the curse you must pass it on to another Avatar. Once cured, you become immune to receiving any future curses. If the server resets then you become susceptible to receiving curses again.
Something important to note is that I decided to add a new argument called "true_head" to Head.java. This allows us to determine the true style of a head at all times, instead of relying on the "true_head_style" variable in Avatar.java to retrieve the true style of a head.
