Actually it's Carl Orff who wrote that 
.
If it wasn't a demon say, wasn't a defined event or timer, but was the consequence of our actions it would make the endgame much more enjoyable.

Sorry to spoil this but you can't generate non-square maps with plasma fractals.
Then, say 6-9 months on I picked it up again and tried dwarf-mode: I was hooked.
code:
G is grate
_ is pressure plate
# is wall
X is closed floodgate.
x is open floodgate.
~ is water supply.NAND gate(written here as N):
##### #
#G#G#x#
#_#_#x#
#~#~#~#
The two pressure plates are connected to the floodgates so that when water presses a pressure plate they close.NOT gate(written here !):
Simply a NAND with connected input.
So NOT:A is NAND:A,ANOR gate:
I is input 1
J is input 2
!((!I)N(!J))etc.
The floor below collects the runoff from the grates and pumps it back up.
Memory would simply be:
code:
H is hatch
#X# < read memory
#H#
#X# < write memoryJust open the hatch to flush memory, read by opening the top floodgate unfortunately clearing it(but you can put a pressure plate in that rewrites it), and and write by flushing and then either opening or leaving the bottom floodgate.
All of this would have to be at water pressure 1.
Can anyone think of an adaptor that will keep water at pressure 1, even when connnected to a river. If you could have a reservoir above that refilled when water was removed. Perhaps like this:
code:
Spans multiple levels
> is ramp
x is open floodgate
X is closed floodgate
H is hatch
~ is water at pressure 1.
#~#######
#~x_>>>H#
#~x_>>>##
#~x_>>>H#
#~x_>>>##
#~x_>>>H#
#########The hatches open when needed, water flows down when empty space, pressure plates close floodgates when supplied.
WOW, that was long. Something to think about, maybe.
A girl was killed and six bamboo houses flattened as elephants ravaged a village near Cox's Bazar district town, 400 km (250 miles) from the capital Dhaka on Monday.
A boy was killed and a man seriously injured when wild elephants strayed into another village in the same district on Sunday. Five houses were levelled by the rampaging elephants.
In both the attacks, the villagers fled their homes but later returned with drums and firecrackers to scare off the herds of wild elephants.
Attacks by elephant have become frequent in Bangladesh in recent years, as their forest habitats shrink due to encroachment by people, forest officials say.
On average, nearly 20 people are killed by elephants in Bangladesh each year.
