Trying to read all the above..

File Format:
If it were flat tables then I'd be more inclinded to use an embedded database like SQLite which is awesome for stuff like this and does all the storing/parsing for you. And indeed I may well have designed it that way from the outset.

However we're working on a code base we didn't start and that's not how it's been designed, so given that XML is a very reasonable way to go.



AI Bots:
If you want to write an AI (and please, please do) then I would suggest you write it in the actual Nova code, rather than as a separate process.

Ideally there would be a plugin system for this so people could write AIs against an API in other languages but that's not on any priority list yet.

@paul_ik - what do you program in now?
