Yes, It's true, Almost 5 hrs before I said it would be,
the C-ADD (Creatures ADDicts) Code is now available for
general consumption.

It is available from my website, in HTML form and in plain
text form. Both the HTML and TEXT versions are 1.2.1, but they
may go out of sync depending on how much time I have on my hands.

Some of you also send quotes for the CrEd32Quotes page, unfortunately,
due to my total lack of HTML ability, I forgot to give the Quotes
box a "name" property. As Such, I did not receive the quotes.

I have fixed this, and urge you to re-send and quotes send before
8:00am this morning (3:00am Central USA Time)

Have fun & stay happy ;)

Interesting.. but could be better if one were to write a program that
would automatically create a code for you from fields you fill in and a
program that would interpret it (hint, hint) :)

They've come out with a Creatures ADDicts Code? Is there a website or
something?

I originally had intended to do so, however as the human mind is
capable of so much more than I am of programming, so I decided that
to computerise the encoding and decoding of the system would limit
its use and flexibility. As the code currently stands, there are
several variable constructs to allow you to better define yourself
within the confines of the code. And as nesting is entirely permitted,
I decided that to be able to decode all that someone may give, whilst
not taking a millenium about it, would be truly difficult.

E.g.
A+(++>+++($))
Artwork of "+" standard, however sometimes of
"++" standard, whilst aspiring to "+++" standard
and the occaisional "$" on the side.

Whilst relatively easy for the human mind to parse and make sense of,
would require a parser on the level of programming languages to make
sense of such in code.

In conclusion, although I dare say that someone will accuse me of
being lazy, I decided not to limit the flexibility of the code, and
to provide all variance that I could to the specifiers. I am working on,
and will soon release (Within 2 weeks or so) a program to help you
to make your initial code block. It will ensure that you have
provided all the necessary data, although you will still have to decide
as whether or not you are "+" or "++" or "---". With all the flexibility
I have afforded to the code, a simple decoder would be almost impossible.

Sorry...
