Alternate Shop Keeper

I'll say it fairly straight-up... what you gain in ease of use and setup, you lose in understandability.

This is not much different; the code uses some of the more advanced features of BYOND, such as associative lists, to build very accurate lists of wares available to someone.

All of it is heavily-commented, but even so, if you don't understand it, don't touch it. The code works out of the box, because I verified that much.

Follow the samples to make your own shopkeepers, but remember my warning.

Perverting the phrase: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you ain't gonna broke it when you fix it, then by all means fix it, sonny. But if it gets broke, you're who has to fix it, boy."*


*Gender has no relevance to this situation. I'm not going to pervert the perversion. =)
