Dwarf Fortress > DF Modding
time travel idea
azrael300:
I have an idea on how to time travel in dwarf fortress, you make a save state of the pressent and you can travel back to that. If you made two save states, what ever you do in the earliest one will have an affect on the later one, it just has to remember when and where on the map you set the later one and simulate the changed course in history up until the point in time and space you made the later state, and take you to the point in space of the later one... just hope that things have not changed too much and you dont get stuck inside a wall.

My Name is Immaterial:
You know, this might actually work, especially with the new world gen code. The main problem would be determining when the save states are saved at. It wouldn't work as a mod, as the game stands (probably), but when more and more gets put out into Raws, this could be really interesting.

Time travel = much bigger CPU load = low FPS = no good
