I was thinking on how you could do DF a bit more abstract.
I am not sure that all changes are possible.

What i would like to do is, "Dwarfs" = "Functions" / "Process".
Plants get the names "int", "float", "bool", "char".
Bins, barrels and bags gets names like "list", "vector", "stack".

Minerals would get names like "0xFF00FF" and would be smelted into "Purple".
Would be kinda fun.

Enemies and evil creatures get names like "corupted heap", "stack overflow", "0x000005"

This gets the Pickerel Seal of Approval!

Then if some one think the game is hard to understand you can give them this mod and tell them.

use your function to plant a int seed, once the int seeds turns into a int, turn into classes or structs, but remember to have enough vectors and lists to put them in.

[TheSpaceMan]

maybe the plants should be random ints and random floats.
That would make more sense to plant a random float seed that grows into a float/int.

[Dr. Melon]

This sounds fun.

[TheSpaceMan]

could you make it so that a plant seed is another type then the plant it came from?

(ps. ofcourse Elves would become "overflow")

[Warmist]

plant seeds could be shorter version like: short int->long int or float->double

[TheSpaceMan]

is it possible to rename the field? it probably isn't but it would make a nice "randomGenerator();"



The idea behind plant would be plant "1" <-> "0" where they all drop a seed to a another number and not in order 5->1->3->6->4->2->8->9->7->0->5 etc.

Each plant would use the Alt tile value to show it's current value and the value of the seed it vill drop.

Is this even possible?

ok alla food types will be structs.

That way i can turn the creature into a class with parts like fetch(); update(); move(); where fetch would be hands, move feets and update the brain.

Wepons would be reduced to these three free; corrupt(); and delete;

The flying +bad RAM memory block+ strikes the Function in the header! It is mangled! The Function's argument list is broken!
The Function hacks at the Viral Subprocess in the body with its -Advanced Delete Routine-! It is broken! The Viral Subprocess's allocated memory has been slashed off! The Viral Subprocess has been struck down.

Tron 2.0 looks better in ASCII.

[PTTG??]

Sounds good. Make it so that the tileset looks like a terminal interface, and call it work-safe DF. See, I'm not playing a game; this is just a code window!

[TheSpaceMan]

Thinking this could be way cooler then intended. But I won't attack it untill the GUI editor is done.

Tried a quick world with the races, C# Classes and Overflows. But a rewriting of the language file would be needed to programing terms.

I would like to put the languages as gods as well.

Apperently it didn't like the civs being populated by no_gender creatures...

Fortran, Programming Language God

Fortran was a deity that occured in Programming Language legend. He was depicted as a large set of numbers, and was associated with frustration and bloating.
