This is a 'too many cooks ruin the stew' experiment, the writers can choose any assemblable language they want (go ahead, write a chunk in brainfuck (; ), it is built off of a assembly main chassis for all code to use. What do you all think? Also, the goal is to make a game

Hmm... Seems to me like it would be more trouble than it's worth.  What would the point even be?

A chaotic and randomly assembled game seems interesting but deliberately making the code confusing would only make things difficult for the programmers and wouldn't contribute to the finished product.

If this amounts to anything more than an exe file that instantly throws an error. I will be thoroughly impressed.

[exdeath]

an collaborative game made by bay 12 would be awsome.
There is dwarf from scractch stuff, but its more equivalent to anarchy style of twitch plays X. I am talking about something with voting.

If I knew how to mod DF, I would create a mod based on bay 12 input, where each specie is removed, and I include new species that are invented by using the detailed gurps alien generator (but instead of selecting stuff at random, I would make polls to people select the characteristics of the living beings.)

So like a Suggestion Mod?

So like a Suggestion Mod?

The gurps alien generator is very detailed (you will see next), and you make an alien by rolling numbers on tables (previous results may influence other rolls you make).
We would make many species (up to X) using the tables, but instead of rolling it, we would selected by voting (range style voting between all choices that we would have a chance to get by rolling the dice) and then those creatures would be moded to df.
The mode would have ONLY those creatures we created.

This is one example of a creature made in such way by a rpg board (but instead of range style voting, the board used approval voting style ["say yes to the choices you want" instead of the range voting "give scores from 1 to 10 to everything"])

Well, first, lets vote one what type of game we should make, i vote text game, first i need a list of types to make a poll for

[dorf]

This sounds like a cool idea.

I suggest that a minimal viable game prototype is made, so that we can try it out ASAP.
Forget voting, just make what you envisioned, but keep it simple for the time being.

Text game it is then

Well first, example:
lets say someone wants to implent rot13.

Spoiler: rot13 C code (click to show/hide)

#include <stdio.h>

int rot13(int c){
  if('a' <= c && c <= 'z'){
    return rot13b(c,'a');
  } else if ('A' <= c && c <= 'Z') {
    return rot13b(c, 'A');
  } else {
    return c;
  }
}

int rot13b(int c, int basis){
  c = (((c-basis)+13)%26)+basis;
  return c;
}

from there, on the assemby side, if we wanted to rot13 'Hello' we would:

Spoiler: Code (click to show/hide)

section .text
<other code>
push hellovar ;Yes, my forumgame scripted is actually accurate to how assembly works
call rot13
<other code>
section .data
<other vars>
hellovar:
     db "Hello", 10, 0
<other vars>

the simple thing i did their counts for all languages, also, im making a github for this (=
