just general code-cop operations...

When you look at Node class, you see a field which basically sez what 
kind of node it is... This is a C style of code, there are four or five 
possible types, this implies that there is code elsewhere that is 
contingent on what type it is. In object oriented languages you simply 
use polymorphism and overloading to make a subclass for each type and 
provide each subclass with the methods appropriate to it, there is some 
redundant code but no "if type = foo then bar" code. This is a general 
red flag indication that refactoring is necessary.

Behaviorally, I've seen all kinds of strangeness, such as currents 
disappearing into nothing, and other signs that the simulation code is 
severely broken in some cases.
