Brain/ network program problem
Oct 24th, 2009, 11:12pm  
Hi there...

I'm writing a program that has a central "brain" that builds a network of nodes, and sends messages out to the nodes across the network to do certain things, like increase their stem length, branch, and so on. It's in an early stage. I've got the messages travelling over the network, and delivering their commands to the nodes. Most of them go fine, but some of them are just shooting out away from the brain along directions that are not on network lines. The code was written (so I thought) to place every new message at the bottom of a stem connected to the brain. However, some are appearing in between stems and shooting out from that point.

Any clues would be much appreciated. The program is quite complicated, I'm sure more complicated than it needs to be due to my inexperience. I've tried to add enough comments to make it clear.

I'll add the code in the next messages.

This is quite complicated, and I know it's a lot to ask for someone to get to grips with it and figure out what is wrong.... I don't really have anyone else I can ask, though.

A bit long, indeed. I fear I have no time right now to take a deep look.
For the record, for long listings like that, the forum (which limits length of messages and messes the indentation), it might be simpler to paste it in some of the free paste sites, like the ancestor pastebin.com or alternatives like pastebin.ca or pastey.net, etc.
Will go back to code later, if nobody takes a shoot at it. The base idea seems interesting.
