The Dink Network

Something about me...
Well, I was born June 2 1987 which makes me 22 years old at the time of this writing. I first started playing Dink around 2002 and joined the forums in may 2005. Since December 2008 I've been doing the polls here on the Dinknetwork, so if you think a poll is stupid, funny or plain pointless it's probably my fault.

I also released some DMODs here. The first two called Dink learns music and Quest for the gems aren't really that great, but I also released The scourger, a DMOD that I still consider to be my opus magnum.
Progress on new DMODs is going very very slowly though. I still have a DMOD in production called "Terminal Tranquility 1, Paninga". But as mentioned before progress is really slow, so don't count on it being released any time soon.

I've made a development file called "An introduction to DMOD making" which seems to be very popular, be sure to check it out if you're interested in making DMODs yourself!

If you wish to contact me you can do so by posting a private message on the forum, or by emailing to: metatarasal (at) hotmail (dot) com

Private Message

If I'm not mistaken the game allows only around 1000 sprites on one screen. I believe the limit was 999, with one being reserved for Dink so that would leave 998 signs per screen. A map can only have 768 screens, so one map could theoretically hold 766464 sign posts. This is all assuming you also use a script to place additional signs as in the editor you can't get past around 99 signs per screen. So that means 999 scripts per screen for a total of 767232 scripts per map file.

My point: To have 10000000000000000000000000000 sign scripts you'd still need 13046927187708750835004 map files to make it work.
