The Dink Network

I'm called magicman here, but my real name is Joeri van Eekelen and I'm from The Netherlands.

I'm 37 years old and currently being a programmer who's involved in social housing software.

My interest in Dink goes off and on. It is currently off. Check back later. I kinda like sourcediving into the Dink engine, which is an awesome way at figuring out why some unexpected behaviour occurs.

Scripting techniques rant
Some Notepad++ Python scripts
Error in map_tile(); documentation.
Why void touch( void ) freezes, void die( void ) fails to complete, and you need wait(1) in loops.
About external(), spawn(), procedure calls, run_script_by_number.

For those interested, you can read my Dinkerview from early 2014.

And it works, even if you change the save_game_info for one savefile, all the others stay in their own format:

if (&player_map == 35)
{
set_save_game_info("Dink's House. Level &level");
}
if (&player_map == 39)
{
set_save_game_info("Banana country. Level &level");
}
if (&player_map == 140)
{
set_save_game_info("Mines of Death. Level &level");
}

Saving a game on screen 35 in slot one, and then going to screen 140 and save in slot two, and then load, you'll see this:

Dink's House. Level: 1
Mines of Death. Level: 1

And that's just so cool.
