- shaggyfrog 15y agoIn all fairness, by the colony's fourth year (given enough animals), multi-GHz machines with GBs of memory start groaning.
- politician 15y agoI need to convince pg that an open source Dwarf Fortress implementation is worth funding. Either that, or figure out how to build a cryptocurrency around it so that all of those Bitcoin miners can help simulate my fortress when its deflationary period starts.
- sitkack 15y agoJust pay them bitcoins to simulate your dwarves and your fortresses.
- wisty 15y agoOK, but you could do iPad-style games. All you need is a cool input device. I'm thinking a webcam, and gloves with a specific bandwidth of color. Though the image processing might be too much.
- esrauch 15y agoMaybe for the input device just attach it to a big multitouch screen. Toss in a battery, wifi (maybe 3G?), ~32GB of flash memory. Then people could use one portable device and developers could write games and publish them to a central store for only ~1-5USD a piece.
