I just don't get the 11,70 EURO. Hey, it appears to be on sale.

An excellent puzzle game with amazing emergent behavior. If you enjoy building complex dungeon mechanics from very simple parts, you'll feel right at home.
Warning: reading the instructions is a must.

[cowsmanaut]

not exactly the dungeon master collection I was expecting from here.. but now I know what the manacles in the game were for

[Zyx]

Very long, but awakening.

Thanks for posting this, Zyx. I've been meaning to view it these last couple of weeks. I have no excuse now I can see a new thread on the forum once everyone has seen it...

[Zyx]

Yes, I have the feeling that our community is able to discuss this with intelligence. I would be delighted if it happens.

Incase you missed it, I believe Raixel started commenting on Zeitgeist in the general chat thread

[Gambit37]

Yes, my above posting did seem rather trite after the Zeitgeist post. I've still not had time to watch the whole thing yet!

[ian_scho]

Me neither, but then I've been watching it while ironing, Gambit

This thing is amusing. A lot of it is just what you would expect of a random text thingy on the internet (ie people writing PENIS a bunch). But, still. The fact that it goes on forever is kinda cool, and people will ocasionally "build" little maps and giant ANSI-esq pictures. Of course, then they get ruined by people writing TESTICLE in them a bunch, but hey.

Commands ive found- to zoom in and out, hit cntrl + or -. Theres also a way to 'warp' to random coodinates or add links, but I dont know how to do that yet.

[zoom]

why does it go on forever?

[raixel]

As far as I know(and I dont that well, my best friend does, and explained it to me) it uses a formula to keep on generating the text 'wall' using a x) y) coordinate structure, then if you write something way out there it saves the coordinates so if anyone else comes across them, it will display it. So theoretically there is as many pages as there are numbers, however I think it would eventually overload whatever server its on if there happened to be something written at a huge amount of coordinates. But eventually its blank cuz no one goes out that far. But as an expirement I set it up so it kept on moving left, and the wall went on for as long as I did it, just llots of blank space.. Theres a way to jump coordinates, so people have set up teir own little areas way out there so if you know the coordinates you can go, otherwise it would be a LONG time to search for them.

So theoretically there is as many pages as there are numbers, however I think it would eventually overload whatever server its on if there happened to be something written at a huge amount of coordinates.

Certainly, there are always limits. But from what I see, there is almost nothing at about +-30 pages, so even with a short integer to store page index, there would be around 65000 pages on each axis which is quite far from the center (so think of a 32bits integer which is about 4 billions...).
Moreover, the jump to coordinates only slides you towards your target, so you can't instantly jump to any location, and you would have to be *very* patient to reach the limits. So you won't virtually hit the limits. And what if it the text map is cyclic?

Now, what are the coordinates to find DM maps ?

[raixel]

Hm. That sounds like a challenge. Now if I could only make the HoC without having it end up being the Hall of PENISTESTICLE, Id be happy

[Gambit37]

I guess it would be populated with some of these:

Yes, I am still a small child who laughs at simple things

[Jan]

Not available here. The title, however, suggests why.

[raixel]

OMG that caused me to laugh harder than I have in days. I had no idea what to expect when I clicked on that, and definately wasnt expecting what I saw and I think my mind just froze.
It looks so happy!

So youre not the only one around here whose mentally a kid, Gambit!

[raixel]

Ohh, Jan. Censorship sucks.

[Ameena]

Hehehe, those kind of critters are known as Sporn - Spore-Porn...there were plenty running around within days of Spore's release, I believe. Actually no, before that - the creature editor was released before the actual game so people could play around with it and make stuff before the full Spore game came out. So yeah, walking knobs and tits and people shagging and stuff...so much imagination and they use it making filth, lol .

[raixel]

I think that just goes to show that if it is possible to make genitals out of something (whether text, images, ect) humans will find a way.

[Ameena]

Lol yeah, pretty much .

[beowuuf]

Freud probably had something to say about testicles with a mouth...

I don't, I was laughing to hard

[Jan]

[cowsmanaut]

yeah, totally get that!

[cowsmanaut]

Rat Olympics? .. yep..

there are a few cool related links on training methods too..

[Jan]

Rat Olympics? .. yep..

Ameena? Where are you? Say it! Say it!

[Ameena]

Lol aaaww that's cute .

My pet rat (who weighed about 379g, so a little smaller than the big white one) was a male named Marko. He had a grey-brown head, white body, and a brown "saddle" on his back. He died last year at the ripe old age of 5. I hand made a little harness for him out of nylon webbing and the buckles from a cat collar, which he wore with a 5 1/2 foot leash tied to my wrist. He used to ride around on my shoulder and would run down my leg and go to the ground if he had to poop or pee(but I still wore a baby spit up blanket just in case). He knew "come" "roll over"(would stretch himself out and do a barrel roll) "dead" (would flip over on his back with his legs straight up)"stand" and then "walk" (would stand on his hind legs and take a couple steps upright). He liked to swim in a giant bowl of water and would dive to the bottom if I put toys down there. I figured out how to train him because I found out he was OBSESSED with frosted mini-wheats and spaghetti sauce. And if you dipped frosted mini wheats in spaghetti sauce, there was nothing he wouldnt do for them. He also was an escape artist and after trying many different latches to keep his cage closed, I gave up and just ended up stacking an encyclopedia on the door (it flipped out and up. Hed get frusterated trying to push it and then get mad at me and not mind what i said for a while)

Frankly, I dont understand why people are freaked out by rats. They are smarter and more easily trained than some dogs. I was constantly amazed at what he figured out how to do like turn on water by pushing the faucet lever up, flush the toilet, open things, ect.
