Muster up remaining strength and complete the current chapter. Bring the game to a logical close, then reboot it.

Same as 1, but a whole new game will be started instead, still Multiworld, but no longer Madness.

9 (10.5%)

Get just this last turn done and reboot the game. No point wasting energy if updating takes so long.

31 (36%)

Get the last turn done and start a new game project.

Needs more 6s...

don't ask that, its like saying "how could this go wrong" and anything else like that.

Oh and I made a init modifier thing for DF, seems to work for me so it "should" work on any other of the newer PC's but...
also before I make my own thread somewhere else, thought I might get the opinions of you fine gentlemen. It only has what you see but I wanted to get some feedback before I went all crazy on it, currently works for the 40d version of DF so if the 40d# versions change the init it wont work for them. I used c# in microsoft visual studios 2008 to program it and it is the first thing I am releasing to the public in general.

Sean if you mind this here or think that it will derail the thread to much I can remove it at your request.

edit: Upgraded to v0.05, now with screen tab completed and a save button so you don't have to close it!

With the cascader... you are aware that 6*5 does not equal 210? Because it really messes with the result.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I'm aware. The funky algorithm I wrote for large number multiplication might disagree though. I'll check it out when I get back home.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Checked it out... cannot find any fault. I went through a number of iterations, and checked each consecutive result - and they all match up, no weird 5x6=210 cases. This kinda thing either does stuff correctly or doesn't do it correctly, there's no way for an algorithm like that to slip up in one specific case.

[Kashyyk]

this is all interesting but can I have a turn please?

It seems all the long multiplication containing the number 5 on the lower half is wonky.

Its official, I hate the SM GUI formatting.[/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b]

[Sean Mirrsen]

Huh. Indeed it does do that. O_O

Which is wrong on too many levels to count. I cannot even imagine what kind of loopy path did it take through the algorithm to get 210 out of 6x5. I also cannot help but notice that it has no problem multiplying numbers containing sixes and fives. Something spoony is going on.

pre-post edit: now that I look at it, 210/5=...  What kind of monster did I create, anyway?

edit: Hehe... well, bug found and fixed. There was a reason for it to only involve the number 5, too. Basically, whenever the multiplication result of any two digits exceeded 10, I had it shave 10 off and add 1 to the next digit. Except I had it exactly like this - "when it exceeded 10". Naturally, whenever the result was equal to 10, it got left alone. Hence the "210". It's just "twenty-ten" instead of 30.

Aand yes, turn. I'm on it.

[Zako]

About time, i suck at maths so I couldn't understand a word you said. Or was it more numbers than words?

[dragnar]

That wasn't quite math, more computer logic than anything else. Basically his long multiplication program wasn't carrying the one and instead treating 10 like a single digit.(that's a bit of an oversimplification but it gets the idea across)

[Acanthus117]

I've spent the past three days reading this whole thing. I know the chance will be like nil, but sign me up on the waiting list please!

[Zako]

Ahhh... simplification... a beautiful thing.

Hey, i just remembered.

Whatever happened to that sentient hammer that was going to come after you guys from the first world?
