I incorporated the first one. And I'm still thinking about the second. I think it's work checking that the implementaion so far is okay.
But, if thou insistiths:
A player may pay $5000 to build a Ladder between the square he is on and the square either 10 spaces on from it or 10 spaces behind it (eg a player on Sqaure 1 can build a Bridge from it to square 11) instead of taking a turn in the normal fashion. If he chooses to do so, a Ladder is created and he is designated its owner. He also gets to set a Climbing Price.
As long as the Ladder exists, a player who does not own the Ladder who is on one of the endpoints of the Ladder may, instead of taking a turn in the normal fashion, pay the Climbing Price to the owner of the Bridge and climb (or descend) it, taking him directly from the start square to the end square (as if he had just jumped there).
Ownership of Ladders may be traded.
Only one Ladder can begin or end on each square, and a new Ladder cannot begin or end within two squares of an existing Ladder (eg if a Ladder begins on square 6 no new Ladders may begin on squares 4-8).
Ladders can stretch and shrink as required by the board. If one of the end squares of the Ladder is deleted, the Ladder joins the next possible square (going up) that it can, unless it has to move more than 3 spaces to do this, in which case it is destroyed.
