* :)  Sorry.  I couln't help myself.  Can I plead the holiday time??  -- [[Simonton]]

I was looking at the code and I couldn't figure out why you cast the char to a short instead of int:
<pre>
		// aim.
		do {
			a += (short) enemyHistory.charAt(--matchPos) / dist;
		} while (--i > 0);
</pre>

Good question!  Are you familiar with the 2's compliment format for binary numbers?  In java, casting from a char to an int does not do any sign extention, so <tt>(int) (char) -1 != -1</tt> (it equals some large number instead).  A Java "char" is the same length as a Java "short", <tt>(short) (char) -1 == -1</tt>. -- [[Simonton]]
