After around two weeks of no windows(a virus...), living on ubuntu, I finally have windows back.

And I remembered about this, so I am going through the long annoying process of recreating the database.

I changed my mind about the dwarves, 3 bytes each for up to 85 dwarves per player, or maybe...
No, I don't need to inclde pointers to dwarves: I have SELECT.
Yeah, that would work.

And ban time can be solved by storing the date of unbannage so a simple < fixes the problem.

Just wondering whats going on with this.

Ya...I registered just to make this post! ;(

[KGodwin]

I guess this is dead then?

[Servant Corps]

I still got my FAF engine if anyone is interested in that. I assumed you already got some free web server place that can upload the engine?

[KGodwin]

Eh, I'm just a bystander who is curious what is going on is all.

I'm working on my own PBBG which is in a similar vein (although not try to emulate dwarf fortress) so was curious.

Alright guys

yonks ago i started work on a php/sql browser based df style game, much like what has been discussed in this thread (just read through it)

what I had down was: some basic world generation algorithms (using temp, rainfall etc like df). this created maps which were then stored in the db

i also had a simple page where you could move around the map (and chat to everybody in that current 'world'). started working on mining you could mine down and around (yes, implemented a z layer)

it used ajax, so you could see other dwarfs moving around you/tiles changing/chat updating instantly/etc

having no webspace, and lot's of people having a go at me, i lay it to rest

now I have a dedicated server (for my other games) and reading through this thread (despite its age) im thinking there are people who want this!

if you guys are still interested, let me know, and ill get a mini forum/discussion page up on my server for us to talk ideas/etc, along with a basic wiki, and we can start getting some people together to help (although i can do quite a bit by myself for the time being)

i've already done enough so the interested people can come play the game as its being developed

if your interested, send me a pm, or reply in this thread. if enough people give me a shout, let's get started!

count me in xam

[halberdear]

I'm in.

i propose the game is made in ascii characters, but upon close inspe(k)tion you could see awesome pictures of the creatures or items. i volunteer as artist and art dictator director!

I also would be interested in doing some Artwork.

Ah, what the heck. I'll chip in here and there what I can.

On the other hand, the majority of the voters went with the option of using traditional DF sprites. Maybe we don't need to make any artwork.

Here's a rough concept drawing showing what I think the game might look like:

The group project menu is where you would organize who can work on your project.

[NRN_R_Sumo1]

decided to take a little time and make it clearer as to what you were trying to show.
although I took the liberty of switching the inventory and labours menu's because inventory is not as important as getting jobs done which need to be done.

if i get the lil forum up, we can all plan and develop together

also, i could code it so we could have different tilesets. start off using ascii, then anybody could develop a tileset and use it.

stuff should be up later on today :]

also learnt some cool stuff about ajax push engines, will make the game alot faster

peace
