Drop Fighters in Adjacent Sectors script for ZOC — used for finding Xannor HQ
Scan all 3000 sectors script for ZOC — used for finding all dead ends in the Universe
Experimental Universe Analysis Python script for ZOC — by using a c;10 scan of all sectors (requires no turns). You can find the following:
- All dead and sectors in a game
- All unique sectors (to send missiles or visit)
- All long-warps, and which of these are isolated dead ends with only a single entrance
- All other isolated dead-end groups (of 20-120 sectors) with only a single entrance
c;10 scans for most of the active Yankee Trader games are included in this directory.

GETTING STARTED
Benchmarks [ t1, t2, t3 ]: Time measurements in the BBS listing show the game’s speed in seconds. Lower numbers are better. Scripts: yt-time-t1.zrx yt-time-t2.zrx yt-time-t3.zrx
t1 = time required to perform [3] “z;y;ns” (text scroll speed)
t2 = time required to perform “c;16” and display 5 screens (CPU time – port data)
t3 = time required to perform “c;10;1;{sector}” to 20 random sectors (CPU time – navigation data)
