Mini Hellcore tutorial - $lu:map_prop:

$list_utils:map_prop is insanely useful. Say you have a list of enemy species on your creature and you want to print their names. Instead of looping through the list and collecting the names, do this:

critter_list = {#123, #124, #125};
critter_names = $lu:map_prop( critter_list, "name" );
"now you could print the names with $su:from_list for example";
player:tell("This critter hates "+$su:from_list(critter_names,", ")+".");

Changelog for 11/14/11

• due to a week in Vegas and then a busy week at home, I wasn't able to update the changelog for the last two weeks. How'd I do at poker? Very well.
• integrated mysql with the moomail - this still has work to be done on it. But the upshot is that all the mail is stored in a mysql database instead of long lists in the moo db.
• skills! You can view the list on the Wayfar Skill guide page.
