Code hacks

From time to time people do various hacks to the code or write various scripts and programs to support the game. We'll try to collect them here so you can use them too. If you have a hack you'd like to add, just add it here. For it to format correctly, put

<nowiki> 
"<pre> 
Copy paste your script here, in the space inbetween the code and pre commands.

" </nowiki>

Note: there is no <code> in front of the script.
