You guys are all missing the most obvious feature: a doom-esque boss mode, for playing at work or school. Ideally on the press of a hotkey it'd either shut down immediately (saving fort progress in the background!) or minimise and rename itself "boring work reports" or whatever. That or pause and display a crysis screenshot so your boss doesn't realise you're a massive, pathetic geek.

Again, alt+tab.

[Kholint]

I was kidding.

(maybe it's just me? am I losing my touch?)

[TOMzors]

lol XD

if you want to know what the time is without alt-tabing get a keyboard with a clock on it or put a clock on your desk... next to your monitor maybe XD

the mail deamon is a silly idea though cool but silly XD

...ooor you could just pay attention in class like you're supposed to .

I like the immersion factor of losing time. I think a clock on the side would eat FPS (boo) and ruin my immersion.

Polling the system clock on each frame and formatting the output would be a drop in an extraordinarily large bucket in DF terms. I don't think a clock is really necessary, but something that simple should never affect FPS very much at all. Calculating and displaying the FPS in the first place is likely to take orders of magnitude more time.

I think the mail thing would be funny but as opposed to it Checking your email just have it deliver messages from some random entity in the world. The messages could be a note from the goblins telling you that they most certainly do not intend to siege your fort next season. OR it could be the elves reminding you not to cut down trees. OR it could be from the dwarves king/queen in which case the letter is made from steel, glass, and magma and is asking how her aunt Urist is doing.

This is an exceptionally made featherwood message. It menaces with spikes of oak.
On the message is an image of a dwarf and trees in featherwood. The dwarf is striking down the trees. This image relates to your plans for the trees in this area.
On the message is an exceptionally designed image of elves and a dwarf in yew. The elves are striking down the dwarf. This image relates to what the elves plan to do if you cut down one more fricking tree.

If I got that, I would have to, just to prove them wrong.

I like to add a time code Clock next to the FTP counter, so it could be turned on and off like the ftp counter.
