Hmm... well a while back I submitted to DM Review my Two-Lane Cars demo. Anyways, they thought I should simplify the Drive proc by using getstep(). However, I kind of prefer doing it manually in the (highly unlikely) event that getstep() should be removed from DMs functions(like those BYONDimes and several other functions).
Any other opinions? Oh, and if you haven't done so already, check out the demo (^_^).

Are you serious?
BYONDimes were removed for hub-related reasons, and their support in the language just had to be phased out. But they were a function of the client-hub interface, which meant that functionality was more open to change.
An integral proc like get_step() suffers no such status, and won't be deprecated, period.
Doing directional stuff manually direction by direction is just a really awful idea. turn() and get_step() are so important to the language that you should be using them almost religiously.
