The Dink Network

anathavia's Profile

Well let's tell something about me than!

I only recently discovered Dink, and I love the fact that you can create your own stories. I never scripted or anything but always wanted to try it sometime but didn't know where to start.

Well I found my start, with all great tutorials here it should not be to hard.

Not to hard?!? Well see that is a bit my problem I make it hard for myself. I got a lot of ideas and to put them into working I can't just slightly edit the standard scripts so it won't be that easy either.

The first script I am trying to make I have been puzzling on for 2 hours now and still not working as I want it so my first D-mod probably is ready in 2027. But I am patient so I will get it done. And I can learn from my mistakes. (well after 2 more hours and some help from magicman it works so maybe it will be 2013 instead of 2027 )

Well I can tell a lot more but if you want to know something just ask me.

Interesting discussion

I think that there is indeed evolution. As said before small mistakes in the copying of DNA can lead to new characteristics of species. If such a mistake turns out to have an effective characteristicchange and positively influences survivability it will spread out to following generations. Through survival of the fittest the small "effective mistakes" are surviving and becoming part of future generationg. These changes are not noticable because they are very small changes but as time goes more and more little changes occur and in millions of years all those small changes together become noticable. I believe that in the beginning there where only a few (possibly only one) species and during billions of years they evoluate to all the species there are at this point. I believe there is evolution, I do not believe that evolution is reproducable, so if you make a copy of the world a billion years ago and wait a billion years the world will look different than it does today.

But what dazzles me is that there should be a start of this evolution, maybe a Big Bang, but than again why did this Big Bang occur, there has to be something that triggered it. I do not believe in a god, so I really have no idea what started all existence. But that is an other thing.

Besides evolution of species I also believe there is evolution on a larger scale, evolution of the world itself. The world started with only one continent and through earthquakes and stuff over billions of years it changed to the world we know now. I believe that the world itself also fights to survive and to that all creatures living on it are parasites/symbiotes to the world. I do not believe the world itself is a living thing, but I see the world as a "thing" that has a need to survive. The earth has different assets to help it survive like cycles and weather. It is hard to explain but I'll give an example of what I believe the world can do to survive. The glacial period for example could have been a defense mechanism from the world against dinosaurs who at that point overrun the world and may have been parasites to the world. So for the world to continue to exist it had to get rid of the parasites (dinosaurs) and by causing a glacial period it did this. Presently the I believe humans are (close to becoming) parasites to the world and the global warming is another defense mechanism to protect the world in its survival.
