Twitch plays DF?
« on: March 15, 2014, 04:31:41 pm »
My friend showed me twitch plays pokemon and it struck me as an idea worth trying with DF, if someone knew how to set it up. What do you think?

It's all very epic. Jump off a tower towards a spike pit, and at the last moment attempt to parry the planet.

It would only work in Adventure mode due to DF mode's time progression. (Good luck staying paused when you need to.)

Then again, a single Adventure mode misstep can be just as deadly while in combat.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Too many possible commands, no objective, quick death if something goes wrong. No way it would work.

There was a Twitch plays fortress mode, and it worked alright. Didn't last long though.

I'd be interested in Twitch playing adventure mode.

I would totally be into it, DF Adventure mode would be kickass. Only thing is democracy should be on first.

Impossible. Too many commands, too many things to do and keep track of.

Maybe with a necro?

It could work if we remove some commands, a watered-down version of df.

It would only work with democracy mode but there would be no anarchy mode to many commands for that also it would have to be adventure.

No acces to the source code, this can't be done without de-compiling.

Here we see an example of a Markov chain trying to imitate human speech.

Really though, this has been tried before. It didn't seem to be failing that badly, but the input broke at a certain point.
Wasn't terrible, but wasn't extremely entertaining either.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

I assume he was talked about ignoring certain inputs on twitch's side.

I would totally support that.

People having to spam commands to try to reach their goals (whatever their goals may be) is the pure fun of watching a project of that sort go live~

It makes me wish I knew how to set up a program like that.

If only there was a plugin to roll up a random adventurer immediately after the death of the current one.
