[rfk-dev] [i@xenotrout.com: Google Maps port of robotfindskitten]

[Steve Pomeroy]

I think that both of these implementations are great. They both suffer
from the lack of a proper end-game, though. I think that one should not
be able to look at non-kitten objects after kitten has been found. How else
are missed oppertunities still missed if one can still explore once the 
game is over?

Just some musings.
