Hi everyone,

is there anywhere a detailed documentation about the used communication protocoll bewtween Dwarf Fortress and awesome native iOS-client (http://mifki.com/df/)?
Will both exchange raw data (the current screen from dwarf fortress and keystrokes) or is there any kind of high level communication like at tile 324,431 is grass and a drwaf and he is wounded and so on.

Thanks alot.

Map is sent as just tiles as you see them and as it stored in screen buffer. For everything else there are commands roughly corresponding to UI actions and data displayed, e.g. "get building info and list of jobs", "remove building", "suspend/repeat/cancel job", "get list of possible building owners", "set building owner", etc.

Sound like a hybridish variant of both extremes.

Is there a documentation so that I can reuse the huge amount of effort you and others habe invested?
