Hey,

When DROD attempts to Divide by zero, could you make it ignore the command, as currently it just crashes with an ugly error.

Does this happen only to me or to anybody else?

I encountered a similar behavior when attempting to modulo by zero (which I'm aware doesn't make any sense either, it just crept into my script accidentally).

Yeah, modulo should crash too.
So, if drod automatically detects and stops infinite loops, shouldn't it also ignore divide by zero errors?

It sure should - before anybody gets the funny idea of implementing a quiz using the snazzy new Question function and makes DROD crash if you get the answer wrong...

Excellent idea! I'll do that.

Errr... could it be you're taking things a wee bit too serious here? Or didn't you read my secret-ed postscript?

Nah, I'd have removed it anyways... deliberately crashing DROD seems a bit......... hard....

But from what I see, purposely crashing DROD is fun!

Crashing DROD is not interesting - one can always make incorrect hold (using not only in-game editor of course). Executing arbitrary code is a real fun. Unfortunately, I don't know buffer overflow errors in DROD code.
