ToadyOne's Development Tools
« on: December 27, 2011, 05:06:19 am »
It's a strange search, but after passing a couple dozen searches through to the forums I can't find anything related. Does anyone know what dev tools Toady uses? For example linux, vim, gcc, makefiles, or maybe msvcpp etc? I did read that he uses SDL and the older code is in hard C with some of the new code sounding like it's being moved to cpp. Does anyone have any more information regarding this?

If I recall correctly, he works on Windows using Microsoft Visual C++.

He builds the entire game out of ones and zeroes. Some days, when he doesn't have enough donations, he doesn't even have ones. The town code? Entirely built from zeroes.

The SDL version came later I think, so I'm pretty sure this is accurate.  The original version only ran on Windows I'm pretty sure.

He probably has a fair number of small utilities he wrote to help debug it too.  So Visual C++ plus other stuff he made himself.

Secretly, DF is coded entirely in brainfuck.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Considering the masochistic complexity of DF, that's not an inappropriate answer. ;)

At least DF isn't written in an interpreted or VM dependent language.  If everyone thinks performance is an issue now...

Toady programs the game on an '86 Macintosh, because he enjoys the challenge. Losing is fun.

He codes it with a magnet and a hard drive.

Ha! You're joking, right? He doesn't have a magnet, he has to use his body's natural magneticism to code it.

He's not naturally magnetic, his mind just functions on such advanced brain-wave patterns that it breaks down most non-Dwarf Fortress related electronics.
