In the last week I could refactor the current code in such a way that generic differences of world objects and actions that update world objects with these differences aren't needed anymore. I replaced the uses of these powerful but also very complex objects by a series of more primitive updates on the world. This also allowed me to remove code that tracked changes between nested lists (needed to represent differences of the world object).
I could reduce the size of the code base considerably without changing the functionality except for a small bit on the client side when displaying user messages which can be repaired later.
This step should make it easier to understand and advancing the code. Immediate next step will be some software design of the server-client relation and of the user interface as an initial step of rebuilding the client.
