My personal hope is that it'll include scripting (possibly in an external language like Lua) sufficient that every element, down to the roaches and doors, can be scripted.

This'll mean that it can be used as the basis for developing DROD or DROD-a-like games for a long time to come.

We will have a fair amount of new scripting power in 5.0, but unfortunately, we're not planning to add support for an external scripting language like Lua.

In DROD:TSS, I herd that you can click on doors to see what orbs and pressure plates affect them.

Cattle! Wow.
I'm guessing they're somewhat like wubbas, but only move every 5 turns, in a random direction? :fun

Who is starting all these wild rumors, geez. Everyone knows that just as GatEB was the first main hold without tarstuff, TSS will be the first one without roaches or queens.

Didn't you see the tar in the Spider Cave?

Plus, I'm sure there will be queens in TSS... but not necessarily roach queens.

I don't know. Wraithwings must use some kind of randomness. There's no other explanation that makes sense.

Man, I was sure it was something to the effect of:


{
int dx, dy;

ZODIAC Position_of_Sun, Position_of_Moon;

DeepMagic(Position_of_Sun, Position_of_Moon);

MakeStandardMove(CueEvents,dx,dy);

}

"Don't get involved" is a terrific comment. It makes me wonder what other hidden gems are in the DROD code.

I thought that already existed in 4.0. Granted, the feature takes you to the page before the help topic, but only so you can see if there is more than one topic.
