DF General Discussion / Re: Confuse-a-cat- Fortress

« on: October 18, 2008, 05:46:38 am »Oh, yes, it can be done properly. However, in those nice screenshots you realize that you're looking at MAYBE 15x15 tiles? The original DF window with the map and menu on was bigger than that (15 by 23 or so).
Sure, you can show more information about a tile, but you lose the ability to show lots of tiles.
I think this could be worked around by the arcane hacker technique known as 'making the window bigger.'

"This is Zygaz Zazyz, an unobtanium steel battle axe. It is engraved with a dwarf striking down a sandworm. It is made of material unknown to this world. It depicts creatures unknown to this world."

DF General Discussion / Re: Spread the awesome of Dwarf Fortress to TVTropes
« on: January 21, 2008, 12:32:00 am »Re. confusion over tropes: a trope is any recurring plot or gameplay device. For the purposes of the wiki, it's 'anything you've seen more than twice'. Tropes are value-neutral and definately not a sign that they're 'good' or 'bad' or should or shouldn't be done.
And for Armok's sake don't worry about sounding like advertising! If you sound too shill-ish then you might be gently mocked and the page edited down a bit... maybe. Don't count on it. The whole wiki runs on nothing but geekish love.
