2 Questions I Suddenly Realised
« on: April 01, 2011, 01:00:39 pm »

1. Does a wall contribute to the value of the room. (And constructed walls? Windows?)

2. If so, does it diagonally? And will dwarves view things diagonally?


So... one room is...

Code: [Select]
--w--
|   |
|-d-|

And another is

Code: [Select]
w----
|   |
|-d-|

Will the windows count as part of the room/be visible etc. in both?

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

Room quality is determined by the total value of the room's floor, adjacent walls, furniture, etc.

I think including everything covered by the flashing X's when you define the room.

Diagonals do seem to be include... that's nice. My next design is a sort of aperture shape, some of the rooms have a flat wall and some have diagonal ones...

So some look like

Code: [Select]
-w-w-
And some

Code: [Select]

   -w
