Section I. Things Not Related to Editing

--== Introduction ==--
This is an attempt to document (as much as possible) all of the lisp
functions built into Abuse. Why? If you want to make something besides
a 2D scoller, you're going to have to start hacking the lisp eventually.
You're also going to have to start mucking around the lisp to create
a new creature, or just change the ai of an existing one. Hopefully,
the registered version of Abuse will eventually include some sort of
comprehensive documentation covering all the functions, but until (if?)
that happens, this should help some of you get started.

--== This Document is Not ==--
This is not a tutorial by any stretch of the imagination. It's just
a list of functions and as much as I've been able to infer about each
one by looking at the source code. Nor is it the Abuse FAQ. The Abuse
FAQ is maintained by Mike Perry (mj-perry@ux4.cso.uiuc.edu) and can
be obtained either from usenet or from the bot on the #abuse irc channel.
It's not a lisp manual, either. If you need help on lisp, I recommend
buying a book, taking a course, or browsing one of the web pages mentioned
in the Abuse FAQ. It won't tell you how to use the level editor, or how to
make $10,000 though some stupid pyramid scheme (thank god). It won't take
out the garbage, or feed the cat. It's just a list of functions.
