Welcome to the Noisebridge Dwarf Fortress Page!

Dwarf Fortress is an amazingly complex yet low-fi real-time strategy game, with dwarves! Actually, it's much more than just a game. You can create complex mechanisms that model things such as Turing complete computers and calculators for example (see more computing projects here).

Events

  • We met on 2010-10-05, but didn't get started until after 7:30pm, thus missing Vonguard by a few minutes.
  • We recently held an informal "Beginning Dwarf Fortress" class on 2010-09-28. Let us know if you think we should do this again!
