If someone was determined enough it "might" be possible. As far as I know though, Dink doesn't have proper drawing scripts, so one would have to make their own using sprites and/or trim. Sounds very painful.

As for proper math, the different lines can be separated. Things like Sqrt and precise division might be feasible, but if I'm not mistaken variables would need to be stored at multiplied values and then divided any time they are used, to make calculations more accurate since Dink can't deal with decimals.

If it is possible, it would be a whole lot harder to do than in a real programming language. And I don't think people will take advantage of the idea much since it's so complex to do in Dink and also so different from the normal game play.

Thanks for the link though, it's a very good read.
