Second Server Group Assignment

Mail your answers (a simple list of 30 numbers will do), to your subgroup leader: either jreiser@cableone.net or brick_thompson@ndsu.nodak.edu. Please complete this by Friday, Feb. 23rd.

Next, in order to give you some good practice, I want to divide the two existing server subgroups into smaller units (while still keeping a balance of novice and experience), as follows:
Sub-sub groups:

1. Wong, Lorentz, Balliet, Parisien
   (work together on ex. #1 and #2, below)
2. Carlson, Schott, Dang, Ernst
   (work together on ex. #3 and #4, below)
3. Hofland, Louwagie, Guerard, Blaha, Dieken
   (work together on ex. #5 and #6, below)
4. Matthews, Hartmann, Crary, Schilke
   (work together on ex. #7 and #8, below)

You should plan to have these practice exercises completed by Tuesday, March 6th. Again, notify your subgroup leader when you are done. They will be writing a simple wrapper routine, that will call your routines, in order to periodically check the status of the simulation. Note that you will need to absorb the material at http://www.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu/~slator/html/blackwood/current-state-jan01.html in order to know what your exercises should be checking for. The practice exercises are to write a routine that:

1. goes through the list of $g.street, looking at each exit named with a cardinal direction (eg. north, south, east, west, southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest), and confirm that 1) each exit points to another $g.street with 2) an exit pointing back that is named with the opposite direction. Print a list of errors and possible solutions (i.e. @rename #1234 to south,s)
2. goes through the list of $g.street, looking at each exit pointing to a $g.store, and confirm that each store has an exit named "street" pointing back. Print a list of errors, with solutions where possible.
3. goes through the list of $g.street, looking for each exit pointing to a $g.store, and checks that the store is "well formed" (e.g. with a backroom, a basement, a backyard, an outhouse, an upstairs, etc.), see the store description at http://www.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu/~slator/html/blackwood/currstate/store-stuff.html Print a list of errors, with solutions where possible.
4. goes through the list of $g.gameroom, looking at each exit, and confirming that it points to a room that is also of type $g.gameroom (and not a programmer room, or something else). Print a list of errors, with solutions where possible.
5. goes through the list of $prog and checks whether their .home is assigned a room that is owned by them. In those cases where an error is found, attempt to find a $g.programmer_room that IS owned by them . Print a list of errors, with solutions where possible.
6. goes through the neighborhoods ($g.hood) and checks whether their list of streets is accurate. Print a list of errors, with solutions where possible.
7. goes through the list of $g.gui_exit and confirm that their .source and .dest properties are valid rooms. Print a list of errors, with solutions where possible.
8. goes through the children of $g.store and check that $g.current_stores is an accurate list. Print a list of errors, with solutions where possible
9. goes through the list of $g.programmer_room and confirms that exits only point to other programmer rooms. Print a list of errors, with solutions where possible

Additional existing routines you can inspect and borrow from are these:
