[REQ] Third-party Friend Wheel generator
« on: January 26, 2010, 08:02:46 pm »
This is in response to this thread. It'd be nice if someone made a simple third-party program that read the dwarves' info files and use their relationship info to generate a friend wheel. A friend wheel is simply a circle with names running along its outside, and lines drawn between the people who know each others. In DF, the wheel would have different kinds of lines to indicate the kind of relationship: one type of line or colour for spouses, one for children, one for acquaintances, etc.

Friend wheels would be far easier to use than having to look up every dwarf's relationships.

It does sound pretty neat, especially given how many types of relationships a dorf can (or will one day) have.

A connection cloud would be more useful...

Yeah, pretty much, but the cloud identifies groups better when the wheel works for individuals only.

Or did you simply look at the first image (NOT of the connection cloud) and didn't bother to look further.
