Oolite External Programmes

Post by Cholmondely »

We now have a small plethora of "external programmes" for Oolite - ranging from Oolite Starter to JMcAfee's Oolite_bot for trading, the Nexus for (limited) multiplayer, maps, keyboard programmes and the various python helpers for transmogrifying ship models into something Oolite can understand.

I'd like to create a category on our wiki to collect all these under the same heading - a category which works for our Admiralty and other programmers, as well as dumb pilots such as your humble servant.


Does "External Programmes" do the job?

Programs. A programme is something you might find at an opera, or on television, but computer code always comes in programs.

Consider yourself admonished, for spelling like a Québécois.

Oh yeah, I almost [forgot] my reason for replying: Third-party helper programs of DOOM! (Obviously.)

Many years ago, when translating a small email for my manager I forgot one letter.
The customer suggested to meet in 'your' office while I translated in 'our' office. Guess the impact... :mrgreen:
