Wait, so have we gotten this working yet? I don't have time right now to dig through all 32 pages but from what it sounds like we haven't.

Im at work right now but I have an i7 at home overclocked to 4.0 ghz, but I've gotten it up to 4.5 stable before. I can disable hyperthreading since dwarf fortress doesn't multithread and I should be able to get the frequency even higher.

Never thought a text based game would require me to push my overclocking abilities past what I consider safe

The game has been reacting...strangely, to say the least.

brings new meaning to the term "stack overflow"

Well, in the event anyone has a supercomputer/can run Crysis, they should try it.

My computer would have no trouble with crysis, but this is too big.

The idea that an ASCII-based game can bring most computers to a grinding halt like this is pretty awesome.

Did anyone try that thing with the gloves yet?

Seriously. Toady used the least CPU straining option for graphics, the game isn't even out of alpha, and it still produced somthing we cannot overcome with modern computers.

I think you all have got this figured wrong.

You're thinking this spire is a trap set by demons, or a holy site set by Armok.

What it actually is is Armok's own personal spear, thrown to kill hell.

Sadly it got stuck before it could get all the way, so it's up to dwarves to cause a cave-in to deliver it the final few z-levels.

It's quite easy to create something that modern computers can't handle. Forkbombs for one.

Well, yeah, I've done that a few times when I fucked up on programming competitions. But to have a project so epic that, even when programmed *well*, it still overruns modern computers... that's something.

That depends on how you define "well". Well-written forkbomb? Although it is rather difficult to screw up a forkbomb if you're purposely trying to make one.

Sorry, I was unclear. I mean it's something to overwork a modern computer when you're a good programmer, and you're not trying to. Obviously a well-written bit of malicious code could do it.

See, I originaly meant this about creating such an event within DF, without modding it for that result.
