It should be fun.  The number is going to be stuck for a few days while I set up support for open gl text, 256 characters curses and 128 character curses.  That way, if things like ww1 medic run fine on your computer, you'll be able to see the upper 128 ascii characters (because there are lots of fonts, they don't display the way I see them on some computers, so it looks like unintended crap).  On the other hand, if for whatever video card/etc. reason, my open gl version doesn't work, you can use curses.  And if neither the 256 character or open gl version works, you can use the 128 character 1970s ass mode, which should work almost everywhere.  It might be harder to play, because of some ambiguous characters, although you can probably get used to it.

So, that'll be 3 or 4 days.  Then more interface/file/text type things.  That should take me to ~941.  Once I hit 941, well, back to business as usual.  Combat improvements, etc.

will there be any easter eggs that give things such as 'silly' weapons?
and i mean silly like, the dwarven battle bread that a certain mr pratchett created?

[Toady One]

I guess there are lots of silly bits to the game...  and some stuff that's just kinda stupid.

Still getting game ready for OGLage...

[Silleh Boy]

humour is good, though. it's little touches that make something stand.

i'm sure you'll be glad to get the current stage out of the way, however. it sounds like it's an annoyance.

I've finally finished all the grunt work leading up to OGLage.  I should be able to get that running tomorrow.  I've spent the last few days loading up scripts and interpreting them and getting nested ifs to work and things like that.

OpenGL is on the top:

   

I've since matched up the grays properly.

Speed?

[Toady One]

They go the same speed...  the timer is still doing work slowing it down, although the OGL one can't be sped up beyond game speed like the curses one can because screen refreshes are way more expensive.  I can get around that by not refreshing every phase in the OGL one if it is accelerated I guess, but at least in normal mode it is pretty much indistinguishable (except for the border with my XP settings).

Hiya, haven't said much lately. Stupid internet problems. Although being offline for 2 days helped me win LCS, it gave me Dwarf-Info-Update-Withdrawals (DIUW). It's a really serious condition. Please, each of you donate 5$ to pay for my medical bills.

Btw, how's everything going with the Dwarves, I'd like a 10 page essay on how it's going, and the font must be no less than 72 in size. Or aboutish 2 rows in the normal font size

Should still be at 941 by Monday.  There are a few more slow bits coming up, since 938 is something like "combat changes" and has ~80 subgoals.  After that it really starts to thin out again.  I just added an interface file and screen that lets you set up the key bindings for anything however you want -- tomorrow will be spent making the other interface screens use them.  This should alleviate most of the paging/etc. problems that arose in LCS.

[Toady One]

Got to 941.  That marks 62 assignments left in 15 sections, rather than 63 assignments left in 16 sections.

[Ancient_Sleeping_Dude_Rei]

I've made a list like that myself for an rpg im making with rpgmaker... Im like at, 5 various main parts with 50 or so subsections... I deem the list 10% done...

The game itself is well... I've made a room, then japanese/standard font issues kicked in and you cant select a name  

[Toady One]

Still chugging along on 927...  I've been there for a while.  This involves putting a lot of things from the code into files, so I can extend them easier.  Most of my projects get popped off too quickly and in too much of a haze for me to bother with pretty or even ethical programming.  I've been making up for it a bit with this one, but it takes time to make the changes...  especially to the bits of the code that were written 3 years ago.

How about 'code like you have decades and decades of long, painful experience at it?'  That sounds better to me.
