====== The Original Dragon Code (DC) ====== The original form of the Dragon Code as documented [[https://www.tomorrowlands.org/draconity/oldcode.html|here]]. It was created by Red Dragon, AKA Dralen, AKA Daniel Hamel.
Well, the whole history is very simple. I was on afd around the time the geek code became very popular. I decided to alter it a little to my own purposes and create the dragon code. I did that, and posted it... a few people noticed it and still use it, then I left afd for a while and, other than a couple of e-mails a few months later, that was it. Then, suddenly, I find it widely in use... *grin* I must say I'm flattered.
This leaves the beginning of the Dragon Code relatively undefined, though as both the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek_Code|Geek Code]] and [[https://groups.google.com/g/alt.fan.dragons|AFD]] first appeared in 1993, it can be no older than that. Likewise, it is not clear when the original code was replaced by its [[dc2:|successor]], except that the last known update to the original was on 1997/06/03, and that DC2 was in use by 1999/07/19. ===== Syntax ===== ===== List of tags ===== * [[dc:kind_of_being|DC.*]] (kind of being) * [[dc:diet|f*]] (diet) * [[dc:social_life|s*]] (social life) * [[dc:dragon_friend|df*]] (dragon friend) * [[dc:hoard_size|h*]] (hoard size) * [[dc:coloration|C*]] (coloration) * [[dc:age|a*]] (age) * [[dc:money|$*]] (money) * [[dc:mating_status|m*]] (mating status) * [[dc:offspring|o*]] (offspring) * [[dc:draconity_index|d*]] (draconity index) * [[dc:wings_and_legs|WL]] (wings/legs) * [[dc:fruitiness|Fr*]] (fruitiness) * [[dc:length|L*]] (length) * [[dc:breath_weapon|B*]] (breath weapon) * [[dc:magical_experience|e*]] (magical experience) * [[dc:body_shape|g*]] (body shape/girth) * [[dc:irritability|i*]] (irritability) - provisional * [[dc:ubiquity|u*]] (ubiquity) - provisional ===== Example code =====
