You got me. Using Flux wasn't my idea (in fact, my idea was "Use anything
but
Flux"), but when your next-best option is $1200...such opinions get put
aside.
(And I do know C, C I write myself! I've never ever ever been forced to
deal
with code someone else has written; I can troubleshoot my own code because
I
have an idea of where to look to find the problem).
The bulk of the "server" that deals with modifying the world will have to
be
hand-written and probably done in Perl. As it is, the world runs really
really slowly--but it may just be my computer (it's over 3 years old).
And
Flux Player isn't as fast as Flash player to begin with--even given the
same
amount of data. Took me three whole minutes to download the world as it
exists; and it's only going to get bigger.

Interestingly enough, when I went for help from one of the professors it
compiled fine. *Shrugs*
