[April Fool's] DSB Version 1.0

Post by Sophia »

It's finally here, with lots of new additions!
What's new:

- Renderer can be set to use 16 colors for maximum authenticity
- COBOL can now be used for scripting in addition to Lua
- Images can now include channels for other Greek letters too
- Fixed a serious bug that caused DSB to inadvertantly function properly, it will now behave as intended
- dsb_floppy_access() will briefly access the floppy drive for no reason
- dsb_backstory() will generate a bit of stereotyped high fantasy nonsense if you can't be arsed to write a story
- Lord Librasulus really will smite thee down

In addition, Mophus' grin can now be used as a weapon in the standard distribution's objects.lua.

Oops...I forgot the date... and only skimmed the post!

Heh, I think this entire entry needs to go as the forum quote of the week!

Weirdly enough, some of them actually seemed quite resonable features, especially Mophus' grin and the backstory creator... :D

Ups. I think someone has been reading the 2007 Christmas Story, and I thought it was just Beo and me!
