I admire what Chuck is doing (to the point of having decided to buy a P2K game as soon as Chuck releases his product), but the two systems are coming at different problems. Chuck's solves the hardware issue in those games, but I think writing code to run under it might not be possible without some of the software environment Williams had that would not be available to be used. Be great if Chuck could clarify that though.

CI uses a standard PC like Chuck (except it can run on a really low level machine) and allows rules to be written in visual basic, so anyone with a PC could theoretically program a full rule set at WPC level complexity without special software tools or skills.
