Re: manual control of a victor?

A goto statement in a subroutine is kinda like the hyperspace button on a video game - you have coded yourself into a deadend, and there is no other way out

thats not good. The golden rules that each discipline of engineering have come up with over the years are the result of many painfull and expensive blunders and mistakes.

When you find yourself tempted to break one, its a red flag that you didnt think things through before you started writing code, or drawing schematics, or designing your logic.

On military projects they have many of the same rules. If you dont follow them your project will be rejected at your next design review, and they dont grant exceptions either :^)
