I wish I was awesome enough to make the Game of Life in DF with water and pressure plates. Honestly I consider myself lucky when I don't flood my entire fort when irrigating a field, even if it is just from a self-contained murky pool.

Sorry to all those who thought it would be about that and were disappointed.

Is it that large? If it is, time to build an in-game internet uplink. Sounds like -100FPS territory.

A bit optimistic, are we?

Your FPS will be so low, only Armok will know its true value!

Personally I think it would be more amusing to get pump stacks set up in such a way as to do a Conway's game of life with Lava...

I have a design for a DF Game of Life engine worked out on paper, but haven't had the time to sit down and build it.  It's not a simple machine.  Not quite as complex as the programmable computer someone built in DF, but still pretty complex.

Well? What are you waiting for?

Scan the drawings and show us!

Most of the drawings are in incomprehensible handwriting and only make sense if you understand my thought processes when designing it.  Might be easier for me to just build the damn thing.

Actually, I think I'm going to wait for the bug where linkages from levers don't show the right spot on the map when you're linking them up before I attempt to build this thing.  It's annoying enough just hooking up basic levers to bridges around the fortress as it is, I'm not going to attempt a machine involving thousands of pressure plate to gear linkages each of which has to be made exactly right before that's fixed.

It is fixed for the upcoming .13, but a workaround is to press 'c' to center the view on the currently selected linkable thingy.
