Stop giving me false hope for the new incarnation and then dashing it most cruelly upon the pointy rocks of reality ye vocal sadists.

Hnng. I do kinda wish it was to the extent of allowing the code to be observed. Would be interesting.

Looking over the Modest Mod, I wonder why much of it is not in the game already....

I respect Toady's decision to keep control of his great creation. But I hope he has a will that states the source will be posted to an open source repository.  I don't mean any ill will, but bad stuff can happen in life. I just don't want to lose a great game.

He did mention something like that in a DF talk, I believe.

There was a typo in the siegers' campfire code. When the fires went out, so did the game.

Yeah, as long as "bad stuff" isn't "killed for source code".

Likewise, my cat is the epitome of gentlecatly behavior when it comes to mealtime protocols.


It is I that is left with the scrappy bits

Right. In my case I actually meant more along the lines of making the code open to be observed, rather than open to be mucked about with in full. The codes man, it just keeps happening. ;w;
