Title: architectural idea
Post by: Bullion on January 26, 2008, 05:58:00 pm
NOTE: Tell me if it's crappy

code:

    X#XXXXX#X
    X#######X
XXXXX#XXXXX#X
....###...###
....CCC...CCC
....TTT...TTT
.............
Key: 
T = Table
C = Chair
X = Wall
# = Floor
. = No floor 
keep repeating pattern.

that's my dining room idea

my bedroom idea, follows, same Key.

code:

##XX#XXXX###XXXXX 
##X###X#X###X#CTX
##XXXXX#######CTX
##X###X#X###X#CTX
##XX#XXXX###X#CTX
############XXXXX
OR, for your broker/sheriff
##XX#XXXX###XXXXX 
##X###X#X###X###X
##XXXXX#########X
##XTTTX#X###X###X
##XCCCXXX###XXXXX
#################

i do realise that the bedroom idea takes a lot of space, and after testing it, provides little gain for early mining, but, hey! it's just an idea.

Sure, why not.

That usage of W is terribly hard to read, yet I like it for some reason, it is esthetically pleasing.

Please don't use a tile filing character to represent floor. I understand That you were looking for something other then "." but please, it hurts to look at those. Here they are done with the character map. The floors have been smoothed as any dining room should be.

code:
 
▓▓▓+▓▓▓▓▓+▓▓▓
▓▓▓+++++++▓▓▓
▓▓▓+▓▓▓▓▓+▓▓▓
▓∙+++∙∙∙+++∙▓
▓∙╥╥╥∙∙∙╥╥╥∙▓
▓∙╤╤╤∙∙∙╤╤╤∙▓
▓∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙▓
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓

code:
 
..▓▓.▓▓▓▓...▓▓▓▓▓
..▓...▓.▓...▓.╥╤▓
..▓▓▓▓▓.......╥╤▓
..▓...▓.▓...▓.╥╤▓
..▓▓.▓▓▓▓...▓.╥╤▓
............▓▓▓▓▓

code:
 
..▓▓.▓▓▓▓...▓▓▓▓▓ 
..▓...▓.▓...▓...▓
..▓▓▓▓▓.........▓
..▓╤╤╤▓.▓...▓...▓
..▓╥╥╥▓▓▓...▓▓▓▓▓
.................

Anyway, I love your dining room. Allows the dwarves eating to over look something. Maybe a waterfall. Maybe an arena, maybe other dwarves going about their daily tasks.

Ah, wouldn't the arena just lead to thousands of "dwarf cancels eat: interrupted by monster that can't possibly reach it" messages? We'll have to wait for dwarves to be smart about what they're afraid of to do that.
