The Dink Network

I started programming back in the time of dinosaurs, back before the beginnings of time, or at least affordable PC's. I've spent most of my time working in assembler and COBOL (COBOL is king!!), but eventually progressed to unix scripting (of boy what you can do with an awk). I live at home, with my wife and Sparky the dog. My daughter goes to college (Go Gators!!). I hope to bring new ideas to the Dink World. Bored of the Rings is my first attempt at a dmod. I'm hoping to write a sequel, but I need to work out the mechanics of it first. I love playing games. I thing the old super nintendo are some of the best.

There is an issue running BOTR on the Dink Smallwood HD 1.09 engine. The load_tiles command is no longer supported, so any script that uses it doesn't run. I am planning to fix the problem as best as I can, by changing some of the background tiles to background sprites. The game did hang up on me, on one screen. I hope it's a load_tile issue as well. If the engine finds a load_tile command in the script, it bypasses the whole script. Back to the drawing boards.
