Subject:"firing" players from lobby into game From:"Jane Carnall" <jane -dot- carnall -at- digitalbridges -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 19 Nov 2001 14:19:58 -0000
Input requested!
In the Javadoc of a games program, the developer wrote that the code "fires
the players who met in the lobby into the game". I understand what he means,
but I think it sounds like we're treating them like human cannonballs! I
googled on the expression, but the results were (I felt) inconclusive. Is
this a standard phrase? (The developer says yes, but as his experience is
primarily with this company, he might be reporting intracompany jargon as
standard...)
Ta muchly,
