*Bumbed* (?)

I suggest we do agree on a standard format which only provides navigation information. Perhaps not even connection data!

As a suggestion i'd like to propose we have a "WVF" format. This file only contains Vectors which are walkable. THey should represent points (nodes, waypoints, whatever) where you can walk to.

I take 4096 as a max, the format should be simple:

Code:
while (file is not empty)
 fread(file, vector);
 
// and saving the same:
for (every waypoint that is valid, etc)
 fwrite(file, vector of waypoint)
the bot should interpet the information itself. THis means the way I connect nodes will be different then other bots.

Looking at JOE and RACC i think we can agree on such a format. Even RACC can give me the vectors? (You need to know where to move the vBody angle so you NEED to know atleast SOME vectors).

Perhaps pierre can tell me what his max amount of vectors will be?

thoughts? comments?!
