In a math class you use your graphing paper to draw out and design rooms instead of graphs (each unit representing a floor tile). Then you say, "I'll be ready when I get home to the editor!"

A very long time ago I made a template for DROD in Excel to print out...it's in this thread. I was never really that serious, so it's pretty incomplete. If anyone cares enough to touch it up, at least something's started for you.

Game on,

I would, but its too bad I don't have Excel. My XP Operating system didn't come with MS Office. None of the apps...

Okay, now I'm going to try downloading it in .pdf format. I do have acrobat reader. Thanks Oneiromancer.

You've been playing DROD with the sound off (since your spouse doesn't appreciate the audio quite as much as you do) for the last few days, but you've still got one of the DROD songs stuck in your head from when you were playing with the sound on.

Okay, that was a bad one...

When you're outside you try to avoid walking because there are spiders that you can't see that can see you! So you just stay inside and play more DROD instead.

You start playing DROD at 11 pm and only come off it at 2:50 am because your fingers were hurting.

if you feel that phrases like "numbers on your keyboard" are not specific enough since DROD doesn't use ALL the numbers on the keyboard, just those on the numpad.

if you considered remapping (and relearning to play drod) the numpad keys to the keyboard numbers to spite those who fall into the last category.

Get on drod forums for the first time and find every single bit of writing you can about the eighth and print it out so that you can read it in math class later.

(this is about 100 pages of paper)
