Callers pass @di for continents, @id for islands, possibly plus some
extra distance. Pass just the extra distance, and compute the rest in
try_to_grow(). This prepares for the next commit.

To find the wilderness sector to elevate next, elevate_land() searches
the non-mountain, non-capital sectors of the island for one that
maximizes a function of its distance to mountains and to sea.
The search ignores already elevated sectors in a less than obvious
way: 1. it never picks a sector where the function yields -INFINITY or
less, and 2. when elevating a wilderness, its (cached) distances get
reset to values that make the function return a more negative value.
Use a more direct check of "not yet elevated": elevation is still the
initial -INFINITY.

next_vector() is kind of cute, but it is also unobvious, cumbersome to
use, and slow for arguments greater than one.
Replace it by hexagon_first(), hexagon_next(). The new code takes
O(1) time, whereas the old code takes O(n). Iterating over a hexagon
changes from
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
vector[i] = 0;
do {
x = x0;
y = y0;
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
x = new_x(x + dirx[vector[i]]);
y = new_y(y + diry[vector[i]]);
}
do stuff with @x, @y...
} while (next_vector(n));
to
hexagon_first(&hexit, x0, y0, n, &x, &y);
do {
do stuff with @x, @y...
} while (hexagon_next(&hexit, &x, &y));
In my measurements, it's ~8% slower for n == 1, 25% faster for n == 2,
and more than three times faster for n == 6.
fairland's performance is dominated by it. Creating worlds for the
Common Fever blitz (distance arguments 3 and 2) and the Hvy Fever
Blitz (distance arguments 6 and 3) on my machine speeds up by a factor
of 1.6 and 2.1, respectively.
Of course, fairland performance is hardly an issue on today's
machines: it takes fairly impractical setups to push run time over a
second.

grow_one_sector() sets @fl_status when it fails to grow a continent.
grow_continents() uses @fl_status to find out whether
grow_one_sector() succeeded, and main() uses it to find out whether
grow_continents() succeeded.
Change grow_continents() to return success / failure.
grow_one_sector() already does. Use the return values, and eliminate

main() rejects the distance between continents when it exceeds WORLD_X

This reverts commit d2a7bb6b6f.
parse_args() uses WORLD_X and WORLD_Y to check the distance arguments.
Calling it before reading econfig is wrong, because at that time
WORLD_X and WORLD_Y still have the compiled-in default values instead
of the actual ones set in econfig.

"fairland: unstable drift -- try increasing DRIFT_MAX" is confusing:
it looks like an error, but isn't, and increasing DRIFT_MAX requires a
recompile. I'm not sure it can happen. Replace by just "unstable
drift".
"fairland: error -- continent %c had no room to grow!" is pretty
redundant: it's always followed by "Only managed to grow %d out of %d
sectors." and then "ERROR: World not large enough to hold
continents". All it adds is which of the continents failed to grow,
and that's not actionable. Drop the message.
The message sequence "designating sectors...", "adding resources...",
"setting coastal flags...", and "writing to sectors file..." is a bit
of a lie as these four tasks aren't actually done one after the other.
Replace by just "writing to sectors file..."

Commit de81e4e20 "Change fairland not to reject small worlds without
trying" (v4.3.25) downgraded it from error to warning, pointing out it

A comment describing how fairland works was lost some time after
Chainsaw 3.31. This is the last known version:
The algorithm starts out by placing the "capitols" on the torus in
such a way so as to maximize their distances from one another (this
uses the perterbation technique of calculus of variations). Then from
these seeds, the continents are grown. The kind of shape they grow
into is determined by the "spike" argument <sp>--the higher the spike,
the more spindly they will be. If you lower the spike, the continents
will be more round. The continents never touch one another, the
argument <di> specifies how many sectors of water should be between
the continents at all times. The continents grow to the size you
specify with <sc> and they all get the same number of mountains
(specified by <pm>). The other arguments should be self explanitory.
If #define ORE 1, then resources will be placed in the sectors as well.
You can alter the #define ORE_MAX, IRON_MIN, GOLD_MIN, FERT_MAX and
URAN_MIN to affect what kind of resources the world gets.
It leaves much to be desired. Add a more thorough one.

The map fairland shows has absolute 0,0 in the top-left corner, while
POGO's map * has it in the center. Shift fairland's map to match
POGO's.
The map shows sea as '.', island sectors as '%', capitals as '#',
mountains as '^', and other continental sectors as a letter or digit
that encodes the continent number modulo 62. When a continent has no
"other" sectors, its continent number is not shown. Remove this
pathological case by using letter/digit for capitals, and '#' for
other continental sectors.

Damage to a ship or land unit, say via pinpoint bombing, doesn't
damage loaded planes and land units.
Damage to a sector, say via strategic bombing, doesn't damage ships
there, but it does damage planes, even when loaded on a land unit (but
not when loaded on a ship), and land units, even when loaded on a land
unit or a ship.
This makes no sense. Sector damage spills over to land units that way
since Chainsaw 3 added them, and to planes since 4.0.9.

ships or land units.

Make lnd_prewrite() and pln_prewrite() ensure that land units and

Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@pond.sub.org>
We generally preserve the invariant "land units and missiles loaded on
a land unit or ship are never fortified / hardened": fortify and
harden refuse to touch embarked land units and missiles, load and
lload zap land unit fortification on load, and refuse to load hardened
missiles.
The exception is edit, which happily fortifies embarked land units
(edit u key 'F'), hardens embarked missiles (edit p key 'F'), loads
fortified land units (edit u keys 'S' and 'Y') and hardened planes
(edit p keys 's' and 'y').
Fix the first two by correcting the new value's upper limit to zero
for embarked land units and planes. The next commit will take care of
the rest.
The fix is visible in tests where test setup fortifies land units with
"edit u * F ?..." without excepting embarked ones.
