Untrue

I personally wrote (modified some opensource version) the current js applet of solving problems, and added some key features, like branch auto merging in the editor (when different order of move leads to the same position), status based problems (marking ending leafs by the status, like KO+, SEKI, etc)., being forced to show answers to all of the opponent moves and probably some other small things. All of this even when I hate js to the core :).

I also personally added 797 tsumegos (the 1000 weiqi problems).

On top of that wube paid the site creator so he can focus on improving some key fetures needed.

Why I'm writing this all? Maybe some imposter syndrom wanting me to prove that I'm not a fraud and I'm actually into programming? :)

It is simple the way the entities exist in the real game. Transport belt is 1X1 tile entity, and its center is logically in the center of the tile, so the .5 position. If I built 2X2 entity, like a stone furnace, it wouldn't be on the .5 position in the game, and also in the test.

I'm not even sure, but maybe it would work to just write MapPosition(x,x) for the test, and it would get changed in some of the layers of the logic to the correct position, but then the position of the actual entity would be different than the position I specified in the test, and would make debugging a bit more confusing.

Imagine you create a belt at MapPosition(2,2), and during debugging you find it at (2.5, 2.5). Or even worse: you use the position as a variable to create the entity, and then you use the same position to find the entity to check if it is still there, and since the belt doesn't cover the whole tile, you wouldn't even find the belt on MapPosition(2,2) if you tried to.
